Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me if I can get pregnant after taking birth control pills and having my period?Doctor's answer:
Generally, pregnancy is unlikely. Emergency contraception contains a high level of estrogen. The dosage of emergency contraception is equivalent to that of 8 days of regular short-term oral contraceptives. Excessive dosage can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, menstrual cycle disorders, and ovarian suppression, among other symptoms.The ovulation period usually occurs 14 days before the next menstrual period, with the possibility of ovulation in the three to four days before and after. This period is considered a risky time, as the chances of pregnancy during intercourse are higher. At other times, the risk is relatively lower.
