Patient's question:
Hello, I will be traveling in December and took Marvelon. However, next month is January, and I want to get pregnant. Is it okay? Will it affect the baby? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is best not to! Generally, you should stop taking medication for at least 3 months before considering pregnancy. Mirena is a short-term birth control pill, and you can get pregnant immediately after stopping it without needing to wait for a period of time.Advice: You can start preparing for pregnancy at any time now. You can begin taking folic acid to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. Taking birth control pills may cause menstrual irregularities, and in some cases, it may even lead to amenorrhea. However, this is temporary. There may also be intermittent vaginal bleeding. It is recommended to take birth control pills as little as possible and consider using condoms for contraception, as this does no harm to your body.
