What are the dangers of taking the birth control pill twice a month?

Patient's question:

I haven't married my girlfriend yet, and I don't want her to get pregnant before we get married. However, this month we did it a bit frequently, so she took the contraceptive pill twice. I just want to ask the experts, what are the dangers of taking two contraceptive pills in one month?

Doctor's answer:

The main harm of taking the birth control pill twice a month is interfering with menstruation, causing menstrual disorders. In addition, there may be a possibility of successful breastfeeding leading to an accidental pregnancy, as emergency contraception is only a corrective measure and does not guarantee a 100% breastfeeding rate. Therefore, if medication has been used, it is important to pay close attention and observe the menstrual cycle carefully. If the period is delayed by a week, the first step is to take a urine test to determine if there is a possibility of pregnancy.
