Patient's question:
The menstrual cycle is on day 14, with a usual cycle length of 30 days, but it was delayed by 9 days last month (this is extremely rare). On the 5th of this month, I took one dose of Lutera during ML. On the evening of the 12th, when I have ML again, should I take another emergency contraceptive pill? Thank you.Medical history and effectiveness:
I have not taken Lutera this year.
Help needed:
To clarify whether I need to take another emergency contraceptive pill.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, Yuting emergency contraceptive pill can only be taken once within a month. If you take it twice in a month, it is first prone to menstrual disorders and second prone to contraceptive failure. In your case, pay attention to observing your menstrual cycle. If your period comes, you can rule out pregnancy. In summary, first pay attention to observing your menstrual cycle. If your period comes, you can rule out pregnancy. Next, definitely do not take it again. Try to use conventional methods of contraception. Emergency contraceptive pills have many side effects and can easily lead to endocrine disorders, causing symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
