Patient's question:

I don't want to have a child so soon. We've been married for almost a year, and we've always used condoms. Oh, I also took birth control pills once. Is it harmful to me in the future if I get pregnant?Help I need: Is there a problem with my body and having children in the future?
Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills have the effect of inhibiting ovulation. Taking too many can affect ovulation and even fertility. If you want to get pregnant after taking emergency contraception pills, it is best to wait for about half a year. At this time, the drug effect has basically disappeared, ovulation has returned to normal, and the success rate of conception will be relatively high. Although ovulation function has recovered, experts recommend that it is safer to wait at least half a year after stopping the use of birth control pills before trying to conceive. If the waiting period is too short, the components of the birth control pills cannot be fully eliminated, which may cause teratogenic effects on the fetus. It is recommended to start taking 0.4 milligrams of folic acid daily three months before preparing to conceive, which can prevent fetal malformations to a certain extent. Continue taking it until the third month of pregnancy, then stop.
