I took emergency contraception three times in the past two or three months, and then for the next two months

Patient's question:

I haven't been here for 10 days.
I took a pregnancy test and got one dark line and one light line.
What's going on?
Am I pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Emergency contraception pills are hormone drugs, and taking too many of them can have significant side effects. Their adverse reactions may include symptoms similar to early pregnancy, vaginal bleeding, reduced menstrual flow or amenorrhea, endocrine disorders, weight gain, facial hyperpigmentation, infertility, or gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches, weight gain, nervousness, low mood, skin spots and acne, etc. Emergency contraception pills should not be used more than three times a year, and only once per month.
