Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I want to consult. I just took birth control pills and feel sleepy. What's going on? Am I pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello. According to your description, it is generally possible to experience this phenomenon again after completing the birth control pill. The estrogen level in emergency contraception pills can disrupt the menstrual cycle, suppress the ovaries, and cause gastrointestinal discomfort, irregular menstruation, and other symptoms, which can damage normal hormonal balance and lead to endocrine disorders. After taking emergency contraception pills, fatigue is considered a side effect of the medication. Adequate rest and regular, deep sleep generally do not require medical intervention and will gradually and completely recover.
