Patient's question:
Doctor, my husband and I don't want to have a child this year, so we need to take safety measures every time we have sex. I'd like to understand how to take short-term birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
If you don't want to deliver temporarily, you can take oral short-acting birth control pills while breastfeeding. The side effects are relatively minor, and you can take them continuously for about three months. It is recommended to start taking them on the first or fifth day of your menstrual cycle. You will start to see breastfeeding effects about a week after starting, with a continuous course of 21 days. After a one-week break, you can start the next course. Avoid eating for two hours before and after taking the pills to prevent gastrointestinal reactions.
