Problem description: I didn’t have a condom when I was in the same room with my boyfriend, and now I don’t want children, so I bought the contraceptive pill at the pharmacy downstairs. Will I be infertile if I take the pill once?

Contraceptives can’t be taken once. Infertility.
The common component of contraceptives is a synthetic version of the natural hormone progesterone produced by the ovaries, which can stop or delay the release of egg cells (ie ovulation), thereby achieving the effect of emergency contraception. Taking emergency contraceptives once in a while will not cause infertility. Generally speaking, taking emergency contraceptives should be controlled at about 2-3 times within a year.
Recommendation: In the future, pay more attention to taking contraceptives as little as possible, especially not many times in a short period of time. When necessary, condoms can be used for contraception, which is clean and safe.
Recommendations are for reference only. If the problem is serious, please go to the hospital for detailed examination
