Patient's question:
In the recent period, I had many sexual relations with my boyfriend again, and every time before we had sex, I took birth control pills. But recently, my period didn't come, and I'm very afraid that I might be pregnant. So I want to ask, is it still effective to have sex after taking birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
The types of birth control pills differ, so the effects on breastfeeding and the timing of taking them also vary. If taken correctly, birth control pills are generally very unlikely to cause accidental pregnancy. As for taking birth control pills and having sex, there should still be an effect on breastfeeding. A missed period could also be a side effect of birth control pills or a delayed period due to other issues.
