I took the contraceptive pill and my period was less

Emergency contraception is a contraceptive method chosen by many women, but taking the medicine also has certain side effects. Some women will experience less regular menstruation after taking emergency contraception, and some will also be accompanied by other abnormalities, such as nausea, discomfort, or spots on the face. So what should women do when their menstruation becomes less and less after taking emergency contraception? Let us learn about it below.

After women take emergency contraceptives, especially for the first time, some abnormal phenomena will occur, such as a certain impact on the menstrual period, and a small amount of menstrual blood may occur. The longer the medication is taken, the more obvious the small amount of menstrual blood will be. This phenomenon is generally not harmful to the human body. After taking it for a period of time, the body will adapt and the condition will naturally improve. Or the condition will recover within two or three months of stopping the medication.

Generally speaking, taking birth control pills to reduce menstruation will not have any adverse effects on future pregnancy, delivery and fetus. However, if the menstrual period is shortened too much after taking the pills, such as only using 1-2 menstrual pads every time you have your period, but only a small amount of bleeding or even amenorrhea, you should stop using emergency contraception in time and switch to other forms of contraception. Generally speaking, it can be resumed after 2-3 months of stopping the pills. For women who have amenorrhea due to taking emergency contraception, it can be restored within 6 months at the latest.

Of course, if you have heavy menstrual flow, irregular cycles, and an enlarged uterus before taking emergency contraception, then taking the medicine can reduce your menstrual flow and make your cycles regular, which is actually beneficial to your body, because emergency contraception not only provides a preventive measure, but also can treat diseases such as heavy menstruation and irregular cycles.

According to the above introduction, taking birth control pills and irregular menstruation generally has no big impact, but if the menstrual volume is very light, you should stop taking the medicine and switch to other contraceptive methods. In fact, emergency contraception is most suitable for women with heavy menstrual flow and irregular menstruation. Emergency contraception has the effect of alleviating and preventing these symptoms. However, emergency contraception is a medicine after all, and long-term use is not good for the human body. Therefore, it is recommended that women choose other methods of contraception to reduce the side effects of the medicine.
