Daily contraceptive pills are essentially female hormones, blisters usually have 28 tablets or 21 tablets, given for a month. The contraceptive effect of daily contraceptives can reach 99.7% in women who take the drug adequately and have a regular menstrual cycle.

However, in some cases, contraception may still fail due to some of the following causes:

  • Forget a few contraceptive pills daily and do not take the correct supplements: daily contraceptive pills can only maintain the end hormone concentration in the body for 24 hours, so if you forget to take the pill even 1 tablet can get pregnant. Therefore, if unfortunately forgetting the drug, women need to calmly handle in accordance with the instructions for taking supplements to ensure the safest contraception.
  • Due to changes in circadian rhythm, stress, in mode of life … causes the menstrual cycle to change, longer or shorter than usual: Contraception due to less common causes, but still possible.

Does taking the contraceptive pill still have any effect?

For the daily birth control blister that is taking, if contraception fails due to many causes, women can still be assured of contraception because there is no evidence that the daily contraceptive pill causes malformations to the fetus, the baby can still develop and give birth normally.

If you are pregnant and your condition is fine, you can keep your pregnancy. It is necessary to immediately stop taking the drug when it is known that you are pregnant. The most important thing is that women need a pregnancy examination, a full screening diagnostic test according to the instructions of a specialist to ensure a healthy fetus.

In particular, there are some women who due to sex on the right day forget the daily contraceptive pill, then due to being too afraid to take more emergency contraceptives. At that time, if unfortunately pregnant, the safety of the fetus depends on the type of drug that the woman has taken:

  • Levonorgestrel-containing emergency contraceptive pill: if contraception fails, the pregnancy is still relatively safe.
  • Mifepriston-containing emergency contraceptives: Fetuses are likely to be affected. At this time, women need to go to a specialist to be examined and consulted by a doctor.

Daily contraceptive pills that want to be highly effective should be taken regularly, at best at the same hour every day. If you forget your medication, take compensatory medications and use supplements in accordance with the instructions attached to each medication. The best additional measure is condoms.

To avoid forgetting the drug, women can leave the drug in a visible place in the bedroom. In addition, it is possible to consider supportive contraceptives that do not need to be remembered, such as contraceptive implants, contraceptive rings,…
