Patient's question:
Hello, could you please take a look at my situation? Since getting married, I have been taking Mafrolone for contraception. On the 23rd of this month, I had intimate relations with my husband. I took the medication on time and in the correct dosage on the 24th and 25th, and even on the 23rd itself. However, I forgot to take the medication for the next few days, specifically on the 26th, 27th, and 28th.Could anyone tell me if missing these doses will result in pregnancy?
First follow-up question: Hello, is there any way to remedy this? Based on my current situation, should I consider terminating the pregnancy?
Doctor's answer:
Whether you are pregnant, you can wait for your period to be delayed by five to seven days and use a pregnancy test kit to find out if you are pregnant. Alternatively, you can wait for one week after intercourse and have a blood test at the hospital. If you are pregnant, it can be detected quickly from the blood, with a very high accuracy rate.Contraceptives are synthetic hormones that can cause irregular vaginal bleeding, menstrual disorders, and amenorrhea, which may affect future normal pregnancy. It is best to avoid taking too many birth control pills to prevent amenorrhea. If you do not want a child, you can use condoms for contraception or have an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted, both of which are good choices.
