Patient's question:
I live with my boyfriend, and my menstrual cycle is normal with a period of 26~27 days. I don't have any other health issues. We have been using condoms for contraception, but find that it affects pleasure. Now, we want to switch to oral contraceptive pills. Which brand would be safer and would not affect our health or fertility? Additionally, if we get pregnant while taking oral contraceptive pills due to various reasons, can we not keep the baby?Doctor's answer:
Avoid dangerous periods. Women of childbearing age must calculate their safe periods during sexual intercourse and pay attention to avoiding dangerous periods. The algorithm for safe periods is seven days after menstruation and seven days before the next menstrual period. The remaining days are the dangerous periods. During these periods, your ovaries will ovulate, and if sperm enters, pregnancy may occur. In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception can have some impact on the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Contraception patients should pay attention to self-care, such as dietary regulation, keeping warm, and avoiding catching a cold.
