Patient's question:
Hello,Last month after taking emergency contraception for a week, on the 10th, I had vaginal bleeding. Was it withdrawal bleeding or my period?
I usually have my period early, but it hasn't arrived by the 9th of this month. Could I be pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
If the duration and amount of withdrawal bleeding are not significantly different from usual, it can replace menstruation, and the next menstrual period can be calculated based on this. However, taking emergency contraception pills often causes menstrual disorders, and it usually takes three months to return to normal. Emergency contraception pills have significant side effects, and they can only be taken once a month, with a maximum of three times a year. From then on, contraceptive measures must be taken before sexual intercourse.
