This contraceptive pill is taken less frequently and lasts longer. Generally, one long-acting contraceptive pill is taken orally on the fifth day of menstruation, followed by a second pill every 20 days.

Taking emergency contraceptives may lead to Hypomenorrhea or amenorrhea. The emergency contraceptives can make the endometrium underdeveloped and the gland secretion insufficient, so that the endometrium can not grow normally and become thin, so that the amount of menstruation can be reduced. Moreover, due to the excessive inhibition of the emergency contraceptives, some women have no withdrawal bleeding after stopping the pills, resulting in amenorrhea.

2. Early pregnancy reaction

About half of people may have early pregnancy reaction and quasi early pregnancy reaction after taking emergency contraceptives. Most symptoms first become severe, then mild, and then gradually disappear, which may be related to the body gradually adapting. Usually manifested as anorexia, nausea, vomiting, even fatigue, dizziness, and other similar reactions to early pregnancy. If vomiting occurs, taking medication before bedtime can reduce the incidence of nausea and vomiting.

3. Vaginal bleeding

Many women will have vaginal bleeding during the emergency contraceptives, which is manifested as continuous punctate bleeding or breakthrough bleeding, which is related to the omission, late use of contraceptives or insufficient effect of contraceptives.

It should be reminded that when couples are preparing to have sex, if they do not plan to have children, they must take contraceptive measures. It is not a big problem to take emergency contraceptives once in a while, but do not take them frequently, which may cause harm to female friends.
