Hello,
With a question "The period is late and the test is two lines after taking the emergency contraceptive pill, is it pregnant?" , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The use of emergency contraceptive pills, the failure rate is about 16%. A pregnancy test with 2 lines is about 97% positive and about 3% negative. It means that the test strip has 2 lines but there is still a chance that you are not pregnant. Therefore, to know for sure if you are pregnant or not, you should see your doctor for an ultrasound and possibly a Beta HCG blood test to know the exact results.
If you still have questions about emergency contraception, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
