Is it a problem to take the birth control pill twice a year?

Patient's question:

I am young and have just found a stable training position. My boyfriend also loves me very much, but we don't want children yet because we haven't reached a stable life and lack the financial ability to raise a child. So, we have taken the contraceptive pill twice a year. I want to know if this will harm my body?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, taking the birth control pill twice a year is not a big problem and does not qualify as frequent use, so there is no need to worry. However, in the future, you can definitely use other methods for breastfeeding, such as taking desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol tablets, Dian, or Yasmin. These are all great choices. The male partner can also opt for condoms, which, in addition to breastfeeding, can also prevent sexually transmitted diseases—why not? Repeatedly taking emergency contraception can affect the endocrine system.
