Patient's question:
How can you know if emergency contraception is effective after taking it??Do you have to wait for your period to arrive?? Or is there a faster way!!??
First follow-up question: When can you use a test strip to find out??
Doctor's answer:
The test is usually performed one week after the delay of menstruation. Generally speaking, the test strip is only effective for pregnancy. If a positive result appears and the woman takes birth control pills but does not get pregnant, the test strip will show negative. In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception will have some impact on women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. For those using contraception, self-care should be noted, such as dietary regulation and maintaining warmth to avoid catching a cold.
