Hello doctor! I had sex at 1 a.m. and then at 7 a.m. that day again, my boyfriend didn't carefully ejaculate into the private area. At 19:00 on the same day, I took an emergency contraceptive pill of 1 pill. The doctor asked me to take emergency contraception 10 hours after sex, can I get pregnant? I read that drinking will have many symptoms such as stomachache, nausea, fatigue, headache, bleeding, but after taking it for more than 2 hours, I just feel tired. Please consult a doctor. Thank you

Answer
Hello. The emergency contraceptive pill should be taken as soon as possible, preferably within 72 hours after having unprotected sex and should take the full dose and at the prescribed time.
Emergency contraceptive pills are more than 75% effective at preventing pregnancy. If you have taken the pill 6 hours after sex, the chances of pregnancy are low. You should not use it regularly because the more you use it continuously, the less effective the contraceptive will be and it is easy to cause many side effects such as dizziness, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding more or not after a few days. In your case, taking the emergency contraceptive pill 10 hours after sex but without any of the above symptoms, you should not worry because the above symptoms may or may not occur. However, you need to regularly monitor your health status so that if there is anything abnormal, you need to immediately go to a reputable medical facility or one of the hospitals of the Vinmec Health System nationwide for a visit. examination and consultation.
