Ovulation occurred before taking birth control pills

Nowadays, there are many contraceptive methods, and taking birth control pills should be one of the most effective methods among them. Many women have to take birth control pills to save themselves because they do not take protective measures in time during their sexual life. So, is it effective to take one birth control pill? Can it be used as a contraceptive if you have already ovulated before taking birth control pills?

1. Does taking one contraceptive pill have any actual effect?

Some birth control pills only require one pill to achieve the actual contraceptive effect, while others require two pills. For example, Jin Yuting only requires one pill, and if taken orally within 72 hours after intercourse, it can achieve the actual contraceptive effect. You need to take two Yuting pills. The first one is to be taken orally within 72 hours after intercourse, and then take another one 12 hours later to achieve the actual contraceptive effect.

Women often have unexpected pregnancies due to not wearing condoms during sexual intercourse or accidentally getting pregnant. Many couples let the woman take an emergency contraceptive pill before having sex, thinking that if the woman takes long-term contraceptive pills internally, they will not have to worry about anything. In fact, whether emergency contraception is effective has a lot to do with the actual situation between the couple. If the couple is together for a long time and insists on taking contraceptives every day, generally speaking, they can have a better contraceptive effect. But if the couple's sexual life is irregular, it is best to choose highly effective contraceptives.

In other words, if women can take long-term contraceptive pills, it can have a good contraceptive effect for irregular couples. Especially for couples who have been separated for a long time and sometimes have sex, it is best to take long-term contraceptives before having sex. Although long-term contraceptives are very effective in preventing pregnancy, they are also prone to accidental pregnancy. The most important thing is that long-term contraceptives can easily cause stomach discomfort and affect endocrine function, so everyone should know that the most effective contraceptive measure is for men to wear condoms.

2. What is the use of taking contraceptive pills after ovulation?

Taking birth control pills after ovulation is still effective. This is because in addition to suppressing ovulation, birth control pills can change the compatibility of the uterine wall, causing the uterine wall to develop out of step with the embryo, and can inhibit the implantation of the embryo combined with the sperm and egg. Even though there is ovulation and fertilization has already occurred, when the sperm and egg combine and reach the uterus, the uterine wall at this time is different from usual, which can prevent the sperm and egg from combining and the embryo from implanting.

3. What should you pay attention to when taking contraceptive pills during ovulation?

1. Pay attention to the timeliness of having sex on the day of ovulation without protective measures. Oral contraceptives must be taken within 72 hours to be effective. The sooner you take the pills, the better the contraceptive effect.

2. Pay attention to the dosage of the medicine. The recommended dosage of contraceptive pills after having sex on the ovulation day is: take 2 tablets at a time; you can also take 1 tablet for the first time, and take the second tablet after 12 hours. Or take it according to the drug label and doctor's instructions.

3. Pay attention to the frequency of taking medicine. It is recommended to take contraceptive pills only once a month. Reliable contraceptive methods should be used from taking the pills to the next menstrual period. Taking contraceptive pills during this period cannot guarantee the contraceptive effect. Moreover, birth control pills have a relatively large impact on the human body and cannot be used frequently as a basic contraceptive measure. It is recommended not to take them more than 3 times a year.
