Patient's question:
I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for over five months. Over a month ago, we had sex and then took emergency contraception. However, I have had my period twice this month. I want to ask, what could be the reason for having two periods in a month after taking emergency contraception? How should I treat it? Could I be pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is due to the side effects of emergency contraception. Emergency contraception should only be taken once a month and not more than three times a year. It is also very easy for emergency contraception to cause irregular menstruation, so it is best not to take it casually in the future. If you do not plan to get pregnant, it is better to use condoms for contraception. You don't need to worry now, just wait and see for a while.
