Patient's question:
Three days after menstruation, four days after intercourse, and five days after taking birth control pills, it is possible to get pregnant. My boyfriend and I have been living together for over a year, and we are not currently planning to have children. Now, I want to understand how many days after intercourse it is effective to take birth control pills to achieve some breastfeeding effects?Doctor's answer:
If you don't want an unexpected pregnancy, you need to use safe measures during sexual activity. If there is no safe measure after sexual intercourse, you need to take emergency contraception as soon as possible. The earlier you take it, the better it is for breastfeeding. There is no need to take it if it's less than 72 hours. You need to understand one thing: three days after your period ends is a safe period, and you don't need to take emergency contraception.
