What to do if contraception fails

There are many contraceptive methods now, but not all of them can achieve 100% contraceptive effect. Even if some people do not take safety measures during sex and take emergency contraceptive pills in time, they may still get pregnant unexpectedly. Contraceptive failure is very common. Many people get pregnant unexpectedly now. So what should we do if contraception fails?

There are various methods of contraception, but there is no guarantee that all methods will be successful. Many women fail to take contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse, and some do not take safety measures. They will be very anxious and want to know what to do if contraception fails. We will introduce some methods below.

Contraceptive methods are generally divided into long-acting methods and short-acting methods. Surveys of women who had induced abortions showed that most of them did so because they did not take any contraceptive measures, or because of the failure or inappropriateness of their use of short-acting contraceptive measures. For example, condom slippage or leakage, improper timing of the safe period, short-acting oral contraceptives or missed doses, etc. So, how to solve the problem of contraceptive failure?

Some people have unplanned pregnancies and rely on abortion to remedy the situation. In fact, during the period from having sex without contraceptive measures or failing to use short-acting contraceptive measures, there is a special method of avoidance - emergency contraception, which can be used to prevent unwanted pregnancy.

Taking emergency contraceptive pills is also a good choice. Emergency contraceptive methods have strict requirements on the time of taking the pills. The pill must be taken within 72 hours after having sex without contraceptive measures or after the failure of short-acting contraceptive measures. If taken beyond 72 hours, satisfactory contraceptive effect will not be achieved. If an emergency situation of contraceptive failure occurs, women should seize this opportunity to avoid pregnancy and seek medical treatment and take medicine as soon as possible. Although artificial abortion can terminate early pregnancy, it can cause a lot of harm to women's physical and mental health, and is prone to complications, which can affect women's health and their future married life.

Find out if you are actually pregnant. Sometimes there may be some signs of false pregnancy, such as drowsiness, nausea, regurgitation, loss of appetite, delayed menstruation, etc., but these may also be due to your recent fatigue and lack of rest. It does not necessarily mean that you are pregnant. Therefore, you should first confirm whether you are really pregnant.

Inform the other party and family members. Once you have confirmed that you are pregnant, you should tell your husband (boyfriend) or family members. Two people always have more ideas than one, so you should tell them in time and don't make the decision alone, so as to avoid making an impulsive decision that you will regret later. Believe that your family members are doing this for your own good and that they have more life experience than you.

Get your marriage done in a timely manner. Some people do not want this unexpected child because they are not ready or planning for marriage, or they are too busy with work recently and want to consider the issue of children after a while. Now that the child is here, they have to change these ideas. If they are not married, they should arrange for marriage as soon as possible to prepare a stable environment for the arrival of the baby.

Handle relevant family planning service procedures. After registering your marriage, go to the local family planning department as soon as possible to handle family planning services and other related procedures. This way, the expectant mother will have no worries, and the arrival of the baby will be reasonable and legal and will be recognized by society.

Don't have an abortion. As long as you have any way to keep the child, don't consider abortion easily, because having a child is really not easy, and the abortion operation itself causes great damage to the female body, and may even cause inflammation or other gynecological diseases, some of which may even affect future fertility, causing regret.

Do you all know what to do if contraception fails? If women do not want to get married for the time being and do not want to have children, they should learn more about contraceptive methods. Some women like to have sex during the safe period. In fact, the safe period is not absolutely safe. There are many examples of contraceptive failure, especially for women with irregular menstruation, who don’t even know when the safe period starts.
