Patient's question:
Previously, my husband and I were both too busy with our careers and didn't feel ready to have children. Recently, both sets of our parents have been urging us to have a child because we are getting older. So, I would like to ask the doctor how long after taking emergency contraception can we try to have a child?Doctor's answer:
During sexual activity, if you do not want to get pregnant, it is important to use safe and effective contraception. Your current contraception method is primarily achieved through oral contraceptives. Emergency contraception pills have certain side effects and are not recommended for frequent use. They can cause menstrual irregularities and may lead to recurring menstrual disorders. In your current situation, if you plan to get pregnant and have a child, you should stop taking the medication and wait for your menstrual cycle to return to normal. Then, you can consider getting pregnant in the next menstrual cycle.
