What should I do if oral contraceptives cause menstrual hypomenorrhea?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. What should I do if oral contraceptives cause menstrual oligomenorrhea?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, irregular menstruation caused by birth control pills usually resolves on its own after 3 months. If it doesn't return for a long time, it's recommended to visit a hospital for a check-up. Emergency contraception should not be taken more than 3 times a year or more than once a month. Based on what you mentioned, your ovulation period should be around 10 days before the 9th. Since you had intercourse on the 16th, it has already passed your ovulation period. Therefore, it will not lead to pregnancy.
