Patient's question:
Recently, I have been having sex frequently with my boyfriend, and every time, I take emergency contraception pills. This month, I noticed that my period is a week late and hasn't arrived yet. I'm a bit worried and want to ask if taking too many emergency contraception pills can affect the arrival of my period.Doctor's answer:
Yes, but if it's already been delayed by a week or 10 days in your current situation, you can go to a pharmacy to buy several pregnancy tests to test yourself and see how you got pregnant. Moreover, birth control pills are not 100% effective for breastfeeding; they only have a chance of breastfeeding. So, in the future, when engaging in sexual activity or behavior, you can switch to using condoms to practice breastfeeding.
