Patient's question:
Hello, I will be traveling in December and took Marvelon. However, next month is January, and I want to get pregnant. Can I do that? Will it affect the baby? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is best not to! Generally, you should stop taking medication for at least 3 months before considering pregnancy. Mirena is a short-acting birth control pill, so you can get pregnant immediately after stopping it without needing to wait for a period of time.Medical Advice: You can start preparing for pregnancy at any time now. Begin taking folic acid to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. Taking birth control pills may cause menstrual irregularities, including even amenorrhea, but this is temporary. There may also be intermittent vaginal bleeding. It is recommended to take birth control pills as little as possible and use condoms for contraception instead, as this does no harm to your body.
