Patient's question:
I came on my period on December 1st, and my period ended on December 8th. On December 12th, I had sex with my boyfriend and took an emergency contraceptive pill, levonorgestrel enteric-coated tablets. On December 18th, I had sex again and took another emergency contraceptive pill. Since I don’t want to get pregnant for now, I’m worried that taking two in a month might interfere with future fertility, making it difficult to get pregnant or even causing infertility. Please advise me on this, thank you.Doctor's answer:
Oral emergency contraception can cause gastrointestinal reactions, breast tenderness, menstrual disorders, early or delayed menstruation in the same month, and abnormal uterine bleeding, among other effects. It is generally highly unlikely to cause infertility. It is recommended to take effective contraceptive measures to prevent long-term use of emergency contraception.Oral emergency contraception can cause gastrointestinal reactions, breast tenderness, menstrual disorders, early or delayed menstruation in the same month, and abnormal uterine bleeding, among other effects.
