Patient's question:
I had sex with my boyfriend a few days ago without using any contraception, so I took emergency contraception pills. But my period hasn't come this month, and I'm very worried that I might be pregnant.Dear Doctor:
Age: 21
I took emergency contraception in mid-October, but my period hasn't arrived yet. Is this normal?
Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception can also be used while breastfeeding. However, taking birth control pills may lead to endocrine disorders, causing significant interference with menstruation. But sometimes birth control pills can also fail, and it's not guaranteed that breastfeeding will be completely successful. It's important to ensure proper contraception measures during daily life and pay attention to rest, avoiding frequent overtime work.
