Patient's question:
Recently, my husband and I had sex without a condom. He asked me to take birth control pills, and I took them continuously. However, later I stopped taking the pills. My period didn't come, so I carefully checked with a pregnancy test and found out that I was pregnant. That's why I'm asking why I got pregnant right after stopping the birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
If you haven't planned to have children yet, you can consider male using condoms for breastfeeding, and women taking oral contraceptives must strictly follow the medication instructions. Missing a dose can easily lead to successful breastfeeding. It's best to wait three months after stopping the medication before trying to conceive. If you get pregnant immediately after stopping the medication, the child is still safe to keep, as oral contraceptives mainly contain estrogen and progesterone, which will never cause developmental abnormalities.
