Suggest Ways To Avoid Pregnancy After Intercourse 9 Months Postpartum

Posted on Thu, 10 Dec 2015

Question: Hi doctor, We had a baby in February 23 2015 I.e almost nine months completed now. My wife is still giving breast feeding. Today we had unsafe sex and we are worried if it gives a pregnancy, for which we are not ready at this stage. My wife is having periods regularly from past 4 months and she recently had the period between 13-16 of this month. Can you please let us know any tablet which stops pregnancy and also not give any effect to breast feeding or baby.

Brief Answer:
Emergency contraceptive pill

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
As I mentioned in our previous conversation, emergency contraceptive pill like I pill or unwanted72 can be taken within72 hours of unprotected intercourse. It is effective in preventing the pregnancy in95-98% cases.
I pill or unwanted 72 has no effect on the breastfeeding, quality of breast milk and has no side effect on the baby.
Hope you found the answer helpful. You can get back to me anytime for further queries later by asking a direct question to me on the health care magic portal.
Wishing you good health.
