Patient's question:
I was originally taking long-acting birth control pills, but I got pregnant during the medication period. Can I keep the child now?Doctor's answer:
The so-called long-acting birth control pill refers to a type of pill that is taken once a month. This type of pill contains higher levels of hormones. During the period of taking the medication, if pregnancy occurs, it is not advisable to retain it, as it may interfere with fetal growth and development, potentially causing abnormalities in fetal development. It is recommended to consider medication abortion or induced abortion within the first seven weeks of pregnancy. After the abortion, it is advisable to wait at least three months before considering conception. The above information can be used as a reference.
