Hello doctor! My husband and I didn't want to have children, but because today we had sex without using a condom, I found out the next day was ovulation, so I immediately took emergency contraception. 72 hour type. So the doctor asked me to take emergency contraception 72 hours after having sex, can I get pregnant? If you have a child, will you have a disability? I'm so bewildered. Looking forward to consulting your doctor.

Answer
Hello, please answer the question: “Do you get pregnant if you take emergency contraception 72 hours after having sex? If I get pregnant, will my baby have a birth defect?” as follows:
Emergency contraception is a high hormonal oral contraceptive used to reduce the risk of unwanted pregnancy after unprotected sex. Normally, using 72-hour oral contraceptives, in the first 6 hours, the effectiveness of the emergency type reaches 90%, but if it is more than 72 hours, then the egg has been fertilized and implanted in the uterus. no longer effective.
On the other hand, based on one study result, scientists believe that there is no obvious harm to the mother or fetus born as a result of failed emergency contraception. Therefore, a pregnant woman in this situation should not have an abortion just because of unfounded concerns about the adverse effects of emergency contraception on the fetus.
You can go to the nearest medical facility or Vinmec Health System Hospital for more detailed examination and advice by doctors. Best regards!
