Long-term contraceptive pills? What a joke... Ruby Gregory opened her eyes wide, obviously taken aback. After a while, she managed to a barely visible smile, her voice trembling as she asked, "Doctor, are you sure you didn't get it wrong?"
"I prescribe this medication to countless patients every day. How could I possibly make a mistake?" The doctor seemed a bit upset at Ruby's question, and he pushed the bottle of pills towards her.
Ruby still couldn't let it go: "But, if these are contraceptive pills, how could I possibly be pregnant?"
"Contraceptives are not 100% effective. The effectiveness of contraceptive pills is much lower than that of contraceptives like condoms. Even with condom use, some people still manage to conceive, let alone by taking contraceptive pills."
Ruby turned pale and stammered, "What about the baby? Is the baby okay?"
