Should I Take Emergency Contraceptive After Missed Desogestrel?
Patient's Query
I’m 28yrs old female, breastfeeding mom with no period since after birth, I’ve been using desogestrel 6weeks after birth, 3days ago I missed my dosage and had an unprotected sex 8hrs ago. Should I just continue with the desogestrel or get an emergency contraceptive pills
Answered by Dr. Mohit Saraogi
It is important to note that skipping one desogestrel pill makes becoming pregnant more likely. As you had sex without using any protection not so long ago, I would advise taking the morning-after pills to avoid getting pregnant. Emergency contraception can either delay or stop ovulation from happening. Keep in mind these tablets work best when taken immediately after having unprotected intercourse. If you’re worried about anything or if anything unusual happens to your body after taking the pill please see a gynecologist as soon as possible.
