Question
Hello doctor,
Many months ago I had a relationship with my boyfriend. Due to fear of getting pregnant, we decided to take emergency contraceptive pills. About a week later, I took it again. It's been almost 10 months now and I don't abuse anymore. I read on the internet and saw a lot of side effects that left behind consequences. I'm very sorry. Can the doctor advise me to take 2 emergency contraceptive pills in 1 month is it dangerous? Is there a way to reduce those risks? (eg diet, exercise)... Thank you doctor.
