Patient's question:
I currently have two babies, and every time I have sex, I am breastfeeding. Today, I was particularly rushed and forgot to take my birth control pill. I would like to consult some medical friends about the issue of taking emergency contraception. If there are any friends who are knowledgeable in this area, please help me explain it. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Since you already have two children, breastfeeding is a long-term issue. It is recommended to consider using an intrauterine device (IUD) or taking short-acting birth control pills while breastfeeding. Instead of taking emergency contraception every time you have sex. However, if you have indeed had sexual activity again without protection, you will have to take emergency contraception within 72 hours after the intercourse. The above information can serve as a reference.
