Use of emergency contraceptive pills after ovulation

Emergency contraceptive pills are pills taken within 72 hours of sexual intercourse to help prevent pregnancy. However, emergency contraceptive pills are not foolproof. While they generally reduce the risk of pregnancy, they do not completely prevent pregnancy. Therefore, before using emergency contraceptive pills, it is recommended to consult a doctor or pharmacist to ensure that you are taking the medication correctly and that there are no drug interactions.

Emergency contraceptive pills have many side effects. Some common side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, breast pain, withdrawal bleeding, etc. These side effects usually go away on their own within a few days and can be relieved with medications.

The number of times emergency contraceptive pills can be used can vary throughout the year. Some studies suggest it's best to use emergency contraceptive pills no more than twice a year. Using emergency contraceptive pills may cause future fertility problems, so it is recommended that you consult your doctor or pharmacist before using emergency contraceptive pills to ensure that you are taking the medication correctly and that there are no interactions.
