Can you eat emergency contraception pills during breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

There are some questions I'd like to ask everyone. Can women who are breastfeeding take emergency contraception pills?

Doctor's answer:

It is best not to take emergency contraception pills during breastfeeding, as the estrogen and progesterone in these drugs can affect the fetus. The best form of contraception during breastfeeding is condoms. Moreover, emergency contraception pills are only an emergency measure, not a regular one. Taking too many can lead to menstrual disorders and harm your health. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
