Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. What is the contraceptive effect of levonorgestrel tablets?Doctor's answer:
Levonorgestrel tablets are an emergency contraceptive medication. This medication, when taken within 72 hours of intercourse, generally does not affect effective breastfeeding. However, there is still a 2% failure rate. Based on the described situation, if the medication is taken 30 hours after intercourse, the majority of cases can successfully continue breastfeeding. During this period, it is important to carefully monitor the next menstrual cycle. If the next period arrives normally, it generally indicates that pregnancy did not occur.
