Patient's question:
What are the effects of taking birth control before pregnancy on pregnancy?If there are any effects, when should it be stopped?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is generally not easy to get pregnant after receiving birth control injections before pregnancy, and the specific impact depends on your medication. The first dose of the birth control injection should be administered as a deep intramuscular injection on the 5th and 12th days of the menstrual cycle, followed by monthly injections of one dose each time. If menstruation does not occur after starting the medication, you can inject another dose after 28 days. If menstruation does not occur for two consecutive months, you should stop the injections, use other contraception methods during this period, and restart the injections after menstruation returns. These formulations are simple to use and highly effective. The main drawback is the large dosage, which can cause menstrual irregularities in some women.
