Patient's question:
Doctor, my boyfriend and I are living together now. I am taking many long-term birth control pills, so I should definitely not get pregnant, right? I don't really understand this, so I guess I'll ask a few questions. Can you still get pregnant while taking long-term birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Oral long-acting contraceptives may also lead to pregnancy if breastfeeding is successful, and long-acting contraceptives can cause certain disruptions to health, interfering with the endocrine system, menstrual cycles, and potentially causing bacterial infections, secondary infertility, and other side effects. If menstruation is delayed while taking the medication, it is first necessary to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. It is recommended to consider alternative breastfeeding methods. The above information can be used as a reference.
