Patient's question:
I'm not interested in having children at my age, I just want to breastfeed. I've already taken emergency contraception, but after taking it this time, my period came more than two weeks earlier. When it arrived early, I was a bit confused. It's my first time having a period early after taking contraception. What should I do if my period came 15 days earlier?Doctor's answer:
15 days early, it depends on how much you usually have. If it's significantly less than your normal menstrual flow, it might not be your period but rather irregular vaginal bleeding. It could be withdrawal bleeding after taking birth control pills. Specifically, you should go to the hospital for an ultrasound to determine the location of the bleeding. Additionally, it's recommended not to use birth control pills for breastfeeding, as it is a hormone that may adjust a woman's endocrine system.
