Short-acting contraceptive pills take effect after 7 days

It is inevitable that couples sometimes have accidents during sexual life, and they fail to take good contraceptive measures in advance. So for some couples who have no plans to have children in the short term, there is another way to save them, which is to take short and effective emergency contraception to achieve the actual effect of contraception. This is the best choice for both yourself and your future baby.

Will short-term contraceptive pills be effective after 7 days of use?

Short-term contraceptives can take effect as contraceptives after seven days of taking them. Short-term contraceptives need to be taken on time every day and must not be missed to avoid irregular vaginal bleeding and affect the actual effect of contraception. It is recommended that you remember to take the medicine on time. You need to take contraceptive measures seven days before taking the medicine to prevent unmarried pregnancy. If you take emergency contraception for a long time, you need to have your liver and kidney function checked regularly. Taking medicine may affect your menstrual cycle.

How to take short-term contraceptive pills

If you have never taken it before, you should start taking it on the first day of the menstrual cycle (ie the first day of menstrual bleeding), or you can start on the 2nd to 5th day. It should be noted that during the first 7 days of the first pill cycle (i.e. taking the first box of short-term contraceptives), if you want to have sexual intercourse, you should use barrier contraception methods (such as condoms). And you can use a few tips to help yourself remember to take medicine:

1. Set the time to take medicine every day after waking up or before going to bed, so that it is easy to develop the habit of taking medicine on time.

2. You can use your mobile phone to set an alarm to remind yourself

3. Put short-term contraceptive pills in common places such as wash basins and mirrors. This kind of reminder is also very effective.

Therefore, if we need to take contraceptive measures by taking short-term contraceptives, we must remember to take them on time. If taken on time, it will generally take effect after 7 days. Natural emergency contraception is only a temporary emergency measure. If a couple needs long-term contraception, it is recommended to use barrier contraception, which can be safer and harmless to the human body.
