Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask, if I take the birth control pill three times within a few days, how many times should I expect to bleed? And does bleeding after taking the birth control pill not mean successful contraception? I mean, does bleeding not affect sperm implantation?Doctor's answer:
In such cases, there should be one withdrawal bleed. However, due to the effect of the medication, menstrual instability may occur again within a short period of time. This is mainly a side effect of the contraceptive pill that causes withdrawal bleeding. Generally, the bleeding time will never be less than one week, and close observation should be conducted based on the amount of bleeding. Usually, if withdrawal bleeding occurs, it proves that the medication is effective and pregnancy will not occur.
