First: take the emergency contraceptive within 72 hours
The time limit of emergency contraception is very strong. In the 72 hours after contraceptive failure and unprotected rooming, the earlier the medication, the better the effect of preventing unwanted pregnancy. You should take one tablet within 12 hours after sexual life, and take it again after 12 hours, so as to have effect.
Second, emergency contraceptives can only be used once
Emergency contraceptives are only used after the last unprotected sexual intercourse, and do not work for the next unprotected sexual intercourse. Therefore, if you have sex again, you still need to take routine contraceptive measures. If you have sex once and take an emergency contraceptive, if you don’t take contraceptive measures next time you have sex, it will cause unwanted pregnancy. You can also use sex doll and sex toy if you don’t want to use contraception for sex.
Third: side effects of emergency contraceptives
If vomiting occurs within 2 hours after taking the emergency contraceptive, you should take it again. It is better to take medicine after meals or before going to bed, which can reduce nausea and other reactions.
Fourth: take the emergency contraceptive to use conventional contraception
After taking the emergency contraceptive, before the next menstruation, reliable routine contraceptive methods should be used to avoid unprotected rooming again.
Fifthly: Post Examination of taking emergency contraceptive
After taking the emergency contraceptive, if the menstruation expires, you should go to the hospital in time to check if the emergency contraception fails, or you can use the early pregnancy test paper for self inspection. Because the emergency contraceptive is not 100% effective, it can be said that no conventional contraceptive can achieve the absolute safety effect, so we must carry out self-examination.
Sixth: emergency contraceptives should not be taken many times
As an emergency contraceptive, emergency contraceptive is not a conventional contraceptive. It has good effect occasionally in the emergency of contraceptive failure. However, if it is often used as a conventional contraceptive, it may increase the probability of monthly menstrual disorder if it is taken continuously and repeatedly in the same menstrual cycle.
Seventh: emergency contraceptives should not be mixed with other drugs
The effect of emergency contraceptives will be affected by taking emergency contraceptives after multiple rooming, unprotected sexual intercourse after taking medicine, or taking anti-inflammatory drugs, antiviral drugs, anti tuberculosis drugs, anticonvulsant drugs, etc. Frequent use of emergency contraceptives can lead to an increase in the overall failure rate.
