Contraceptive pills need to be taken within a certain period of time to achieve a better contraceptive effect. Different contraceptive pills have different taking times.
1. Short-acting contraceptive pills:
Start taking them on the 5th day of menstruation and take them for 21 consecutive days. It is also recommended to take them at a fixed time every day, preferably before going to bed at night, so as to reduce gastrointestinal irritation and dizziness caused by oral short-acting contraceptives. If you miss a day, taking it on the second day will still have a contraceptive effect. However, if you suffer from uterine fibroids, thrombosis tendency, hypertension, diabetes, etc., oral short-acting contraceptives are not recommended for contraception;
2. Emergency contraceptive pills:
Such as compound levonorgestrel tablets, levonorgestrel tablets, etc., used to remedy contraceptive failure. Generally, it is taken orally within 72 hours after intercourse. It is best not to take emergency contraceptive pills more than twice within a year to avoid affecting the body, such as endocrine disorders;
3. Long-acting contraceptive pills:
Such as levonorgestrel ethinyl estradiol tablets, etc., take them orally on the 5th day of menstruation, and take them orally again on the 10th day.
Long-acting and short-acting contraceptive pills may cause thinning of the endometrium, resulting in reduced menstrual flow or even amenorrhea. If amenorrhea occurs, the possibility of pregnancy must be ruled out first, because the contraceptive effect of all contraceptive pills is not 100%, and emergency contraceptive pills may cause withdrawal bleeding after taking them.
