What are the methods of safe period contraception?

Patient's question:

I got my period around the 30th last month. I had sex on the 22nd of this month. My boyfriend isn't sure if he came inside, most of it was outside. Do I need to take birth control pills?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, it is speculated that in your situation, it is best to take one emergency contraceptive pill to have some corrective effect. It is recommended to take one emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours after sexual intercourse. The method of breastfeeding during the safe period is not safe and can easily lead to the recurrence of an accidental pregnancy.
Suggestions:
1. Take contraceptive measures during sexual activity, such as using condoms, taking birth control pills, or getting an IUD.
2. The failure rate of breastfeeding during the safe period is relatively high, so it is better to use other measures.
