Patient's question:
On the 13th, I took birth control pills.On the 17th, during sexual intercourse, I didn't ejaculate and also didn't use any protection.
On the 20th, I experienced withdrawal bleeding, which was even heavier than my usual period.
Hello, is this my period or withdrawal bleeding? Will I still get pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
After taking emergency contraceptive pills, if withdrawal bleeding occurs again 3–7 days after stopping the medication, this indicates successful contraception. If you are currently experiencing no discomfort, you can wait and see. If the bleeding lasts less than a week, you can take Fuyao Ling orally. It is recommended that if you do not intend to get pregnant, you should take precautions to prevent accidental pregnancy, such as using condoms or avoiding intercourse after menstruation has ended. Emergency contraceptive pills should not be taken casually; they are only for emergency measures after other contraceptive methods have failed and should not be used as a regular form of contraception.
