Answer
Hello, please answer the question: “Can I get pregnant by taking emergency contraception 12 hours after sex? ” as follows:
If you have used emergency contraception after sex, the possibility of pregnancy is very low.
In case you are tired, mild abdominal pain may be due to a side effect of birth control pills or because you drink beer.
To be sure you can buy a test at home after having sex for 15-20 days. You should also keep in mind that the emergency contraceptive pill is not a method of contraception that can be used on a regular basis. The drug should not be used more than 2 tablets / month and 3 tablets / year. The use of drugs with a high frequency can affect health, especially reproductive function.
You can go to the nearest medical facility or Vinmec Health System Hospital for more detailed examination and advice by doctors. Best regards!
