What exactly happens if you have your period after taking emergency contraceptive pills?

When dry wood meets fire, people often start having sex without taking any contraceptive measures, such as wearing condoms. Only after the act do they realize they did not use any contraceptive measures. This is when emergency contraceptive pills come in handy. Many women are very scared when they find that their menstruation comes a few days after taking emergency contraceptive pills, and they think that this is abnormal. Today, I will tell you what is going on with menstruation after taking emergency contraceptive pills?

In fact, how long it takes to get your period after taking emergency contraceptive pills depends largely on whether you take it in the first half of the menstrual cycle or the second half of the month.

If you take it in the first half of the month, your menstruation may come early, because taking it in the first half of the month will interfere with your menstruation. Generally, there will be bleeding one week after taking it. At this time, the hormone level in the blood temporarily increases due to the one-time increase in the emergency contraceptive pill, and then decreases, resulting in withdrawal bleeding.

In fact, this is not menstruation, but sometimes the amount of bleeding is similar to the normal menstrual amount, so it is treated as a menstruation. Afterwards the menstrual cycle will be re-established. If there is only a small amount of bleeding, you can ignore it.

If you take it in the second half of the menstrual cycle, it will not interfere much with your menstruation and generally will not affect your normal cycle.

The emergency contraceptive pills currently on the market are all made with the new Sno-levonorgestrel drops, which are produced using the internationally leading formulation technology and are safer and more effective than traditional dosage forms. There has been no case of contraceptive failure since it was launched on the market, and the contraceptive success rate is as high as 99.9%. Although the success rate is high, its harmfulness is also extremely great.

As the saying goes, "All medicines are poisonous to some extent." Experts point out that this is particularly evident in emergency contraceptive pills. In addition to some common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, fatigue, breast swelling, bleeding, and delayed menstruation.

Experts also emphasized that since the dosage of emergency contraceptive pills is more than ten times that of regular contraceptives, large doses of drugs are used to interfere with the function of the ovaries and control ovulation. Therefore, it causes harm to women's ovarian function, liver and kidney metabolism and other systems, and this harm is sometimes even difficult to estimate.

Here we would like to remind everyone that emergency contraceptive pills are an emergency method of contraception. Although they are more effective than traditional methods, their "lethality" is extremely strong and this method of contraception cannot be used as a regular method of contraception. Frequent use can lead to serious endocrine imbalances, decreased fertility, irregular menstruation and other symptoms, so it should not be used more than 3 times a year.
