Will taking emergency contraception cause infertility?

Patient's question:

When I'm in the same room with my boyfriend, I often forget to use contraception, so I have to take emergency contraception. This month, I've already taken emergency contraception three times. It's said that it's very harmful to the body. Does taking emergency contraception cause infertility?

Doctor's answer:

In cases where emergency contraception pills are taken frequently, there is a possibility of experiencing irregular menstrual cycles again. Therefore, it is best to avoid taking these pills regularly. In the future, try to control your intake as much as possible. If your menstrual cycles are normal, you can rest assured that it will not affect your ability to conceive. The first sign of taking emergency contraception pills is usually the reappearance of irregular menstrual cycles. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
