Can I get pregnant after taking birth control pills?

Nowadays, many people have to take some contraceptive measures when they just start a family because they do not have the ability to raise children. Many people take birth control pills to prevent pregnancy. Many people always think that they will not get pregnant after taking birth control pills, but in real life, there is often the phenomenon of getting pregnant after taking birth control pills. So, can you get pregnant by taking birth control pills?

First, let us popularize the emergency contraceptive pill. It refers to a contraceptive method used to prevent pregnancy within a period of time after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Drug contraception is the most commonly used method. Female friends can consider taking emergency contraceptive drugs if they suffer accidental injuries or have unprotected sex for other reasons, or if contraception fails, such as condom breakage, slippage, or incorrect calculation of the safe period. The drugs are effective within 72 hours after intercourse. If you have sex again while taking the drugs, the time must be recalculated.

Sometimes an accident really happens. It should be used within 72-120 hours after sexual intercourse. The earlier it is taken, the better the effect. The failure rate is often higher if it is taken more than 72 hours. It was also pointed out that the contraceptive rate of emergency contraceptive pills is not 100%.

The success rate of birth control pills is 98%, but you still have a 2% chance of getting pregnant. What should you do?

At present, the widely used short-acting combination oral contraceptives will not cause teratogenic effects during pregnancy or in a short period after stopping the medication. Compared with short-acting combination oral contraceptives, emergency contraceptives like Yuting only contain progestin, each tablet has a low dose, is excreted quickly, and only 2 tablets are needed. Therefore, it is safer and there is no need to worry about the impact on the fetus, let alone have an artificial abortion.

It should be added here that the incidence of birth defects in the Chinese population is actually around 15‰, so there is no guarantee that every woman can give birth to a healthy child 100%. It should also be noted here that due to the short time that levonorgestrel emergency contraceptive has been on the market in my country, no relevant evidence has been provided through standardized epidemiological studies. In other words, it cannot be confirmed that it has teratogenic effects, nor can it be confirmed that it has no teratogenic effects.

From the above introduction, it can be seen that if some contraceptives are taken beyond a certain prescribed time limit, pregnancy is possible. However, it should be noted that if pregnancy occurs after taking contraceptives, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time, because taking contraceptives may cause deformities in the child, so protective measures should be taken during daily contraception.
