How often can I take birth control pills?

The most common contraceptive method for female friends is taking medicine. If used properly, the success rate is still very high, but there is no emergency contraception that can guarantee that accidents will not happen, so everyone should be fully prepared. As for how to take emergency contraception, each medicine has its own way of taking, so you must understand it clearly.

1. How to take contraceptive pills

1. The best effect is to take it immediately after sex. It will be effective only if taken within 72 hours. Take one tablet first and then take another tablet 12 hours later.

2. If vomiting occurs within 2 hours after taking the medicine, be sure to take another tablet immediately. If you have sex again after taking the pill, you should use other contraceptive methods.

3. There are many groups that cannot be used. Everyone should read the instructions clearly before using.

4. For health reasons, it should be used at most once a month and continuous use is not allowed.

2. How to take short-term contraceptive pills

The first dose of the medicine starts on the first day of the menstrual cycle (the first day of menstrual bleeding), one tablet a day, for 21 consecutive days, and the next course of medicine will start 7 days after stopping the medicine. Try to take it at a fixed time every day, which can make the contraceptive effect better.

If taken on the first day of menstrual bleeding, it will have a reliable contraceptive effect during the entire cycle including the period of stopping the pill.

If you take it on the second to fifth day of menstrual bleeding, you should use other contraceptive methods, such as condoms, to prevent accidental pregnancy during the first 7 days of the first pill cycle. To ensure effective contraceptive measures, strictly follow the instructions.

3. How to take highly effective emergency contraception

Effective emergency contraception is very simple. Take one tablet on the fifth day after menstruation and another tablet 20 days later to achieve effective contraception, but the side effects are relatively large.

The way to take emergency contraception depends on the type of emergency contraception. The personal situation of each woman is different. There are detailed instructions for use on the small box of emergency contraception. You must read it carefully. If you still don’t know which one is suitable for you, you can also consult a doctor. If your period is delayed for a long time after taking emergency contraception, you should check whether you are accidentally pregnant.
