Patient's question:
On the 27th, her period came, and it left on the 1st of this month. She said it came a little again on the 2nd and then completely left. We had sexual intercourse on the evening of the 4th, and then again in the morning of the 5th. We usually work during the week and only have time together on weekends. For these two instances of intercourse, I don’t know how high the chance of pregnancy is? According to the absolute safe period theory (three days before and three days after), it should be fine, right? My wife is very worried because we are still young and don’t want children yet. She said she wants to take the post-coital pill, but I heard it has severe side effects, so I refused to let her take it because I think it shouldn’t be a problem. Please, if anyone knows and has used the absolute safe period method for birth control, please share your insights.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: The probability of pregnancy in this case is not high, but it is possible.Suggestions: The active ingredient in birth control pills is estrogen. Taking too much can affect the menstrual cycle, causing menstrual disorders. It is recommended to take it three times a year.
