Patient's question:
Hello, after I got pregnant, I now have brown discharge indicating a miscarriage. The doctor said this is a sign of threatened miscarriage. May I ask if it is safe to take birth control pills 4 months after a threatened miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
The situation you described should be a recurring biochemical miscarriage. The failure rate of withdrawal intercourse is high, and it does not rule out the possibility of pregnancy. Emergency contraception pills contain a large amount of progesterone and cannot be used as a routine method for breastfeeding. They should only be used as a backup measure for unprotected sex or as a remedy after successful breastfeeding. It should be used no more than three times a year and no more than once a month. Multiple uses may lead to menstrual disorders or even infertility. Intercourse should be practiced with effective contraception measures, preferably with the male using a condom throughout.
