Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I have a question I'd like to consult you about. I just got married not long ago, and my career is not yet stable, so I don't want to have children so soon. I always take birth control pills before sexual intercourse, and I'd like to consult about this. Breastfeeding, birth control pills—will this cause any problems?Doctor's answer:
If you took the contraceptive pill before cohabitation in this situation, it should be a short-acting oral contraceptive. There is one point to note: the short-acting oral contraceptive does not need to be taken only before each sexual activity. If you want to use it, you must take it continuously. That is to say, if your period starts on the fifth day of your cycle, you should start taking it and continue for 21 days, then stop. Generally, your period will come about three days after stopping the pill.
