Do I need to take birth control pills five days before my period?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant? The harm is relatively small. Do I need to take birth control pills five days before my period if I have sex?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, emergency contraception should not be taken more than twice a month or more than three times a year. Excessive use may lead to menstrual disorders, so it's important to monitor your condition. If you experience menstrual irregularities, you can take Wuji Baifeng Pills or Chinese herbal medicine for regulation. Maintaining a positive mood and getting enough sleep can help restore your cycle.
If the intrauterine device (IUD) has shifted, it is recommended to visit a hospital to remove it. When the IUD shifts, it moves to a lower position in the uterine cavity, closer to the cervix, and fails to inhibit the implantation and development of the fertilized egg. This increases the risk of pregnancy while wearing the IUD and reduces its contraceptive effectiveness.
