Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Should I stop breastfeeding if I take emergency contraception during lactation?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception can enter breast milk, which may affect the infant, causing breast enlargement in female infants and vaginal bleeding. Therefore, it is recommended to stop breastfeeding for one week before continuing to breastfeed.Contraceptives with short-term effects generally allow pregnancy after stopping medication for one month, with 2/3 of people being able to conceive. Most have no reports of fetal abnormalities. However, to rule out hidden effects, it is still advisable to wait at least three months after stopping medication before getting pregnant.
