Patient's question:
Did not take measures to have intercourse during ovulation period, worried about pregnancy. After intercourse, took levonorgestrel tablets {yao-Jin Yuting-} emergency breastfeeding 1 tablet, unsure if this medication can be effective.Doctor's answer:
Emergency breastfeeding can be achieved with just one tablet. The dosage of a single-tablet pack of birth control pills is the same as that of a two-tablet pack in terms of breastfeeding effectiveness. The only difference is that the two-tablet pack allows for taking two tablets at once or splitting them into two doses 12 hours apart, which may result in slightly fewer side effects on the body. It's also important to consider having a spare dose in case of nausea. Continuous use of birth control pills may affect their efficacy and is not good for the body.
