Is the short-term birth control pill effective?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I just got married, and I don't want children. These days are my ovulation period. Before having sex last night, I took a short-term birth control pill, and my husband didn't wear a condom. Is the short-term birth control pill I'm taking effective?

Doctor's answer:

If you have unprotected sexual intercourse within 24 hours without any protective measures, it is recommended to take an additional pill 48 hours later to avoid successful breastfeeding. Therefore, you will also need to take an additional pill within 48 hours. After that, carefully observe how your vagina experiences withdrawal bleeding. Pay close attention to how your next menstrual period arrives as expected. The above advice is for the question "I just got married, and I don't want to have children." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
