There are many types of contraceptives, whether they are long-acting or short-acting, their mechanism of action is the same, which is to achieve the purpose of contraception by inhibiting ovulation. Normal women have their own endocrine rules. The use of oral contraceptives will disrupt their own rules, so some side effects will occur during the medication process, which may lead to endocrine disorders, irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, infertility, or gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, weight gain, nervous tension, depression, skin pigmentation and acne, etc. Taking birth control pills may also cause the following harm to your body:

1. Contraceptive pills have a certain impact on sugar, protein, and fat metabolism, and will reduce glucose tolerance.

2. Contraceptives will increase lipoprotein levels, leading to higher blood pressure and arteriosclerosis.

3. Contraceptive pills are mainly affected by estrogen. High doses of estrogen will increase coagulation factors and increase the risk of thrombotic diseases.

4. Contraceptive drugs can affect the excretion function of bile, and long-term use can also cause abnormal liver function.

Therefore, women are advised not to use birth control pills as a long-term contraceptive measure. Taking too many contraceptive pills can cause great harm to women. Generally speaking, oral contraceptives should be discontinued for 2-3 months after being used for more than 6 months to allow the suppressed ovarian function to recover. You can continue to take the pills after a period of discontinuation. Birth control pills can affect your menstrual cycle. Some women may experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding about a week after taking the emergency contraceptive pill. The menstrual cycle is disrupted after taking birth control pills, and menstruation may be early or late. After that, the menstrual cycle will be rebuilt and slowly return to normal.

When women of childbearing age take birth control pills at different times of the menstrual cycle, the effects on menstruation will also vary. If taken in the first half of the menstrual cycle, it may interfere with women's menstruation and cause vaginal bleeding; if taken in the second half of the menstrual cycle, it will interfere less with women's menstruation.

From the above we can know that taking birth control pills twice a week is very harmful, so we should be more careful not to take birth control pills so many times in our daily life. What we need to pay attention to is that if you get pregnant while taking birth control pills, you must not keep the baby, otherwise it is easy to have a stillbirth or the fetus may have cerebral palsy.
