Question
What are the potential effects on the fetus if an emergency contraceptive pill is used after pregnancy?
Answer
From the perspective of healthy reproduction, it is feasible to become pregnant three months after taking an emergency contraceptive pill. However, an unusual vaginal odor during the early stages of pregnancy may be a symptom of vaginitis, and it is recommended to undergo a vaginal discharge test. Generally, such medications are unlikely to cause fetal malformations. To ensure the health of the fetus, it is suggested to undergo a Down syndrome screening between 15-20 weeks of pregnancy, as well as a four-dimensional ultrasound scan for fetal abnormalities between 22-26 weeks.
