Patient's question:
Still breastfeeding, haven't had her period yet. Had sex today while breastfeeding, and it was successful. Unsure if it was ovulation day, so I used a menopause test strip and within half an hour, there was no second red line, but after over an hour, there was a very faint red line. Please ask if it's possible to get pregnant on the day of contraceptive failure when the ovulation test strip is negative.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Emergency contraception pills can be used during breastfeeding. The main ingredients are estrogen, which have minimal impact on the baby. It is essential to take proper contraceptive measures during breastfeeding. Around 6 weeks postpartum, the uterus will be fully recovered.1. If you have sexual intercourse within 24 hours, you can use emergency contraception pills. If it is used after that time, it will be ineffective.
2. Regarding the high positive rate of the test strips you mentioned, I recommend visiting the nearest regular hospital for an early pregnancy test. When patients face gynecological problems, we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If gynecological issues persist despite treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
