When can I restart my contraceptive pill after taking the emergency pill?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Did you experience any bleeding post-EllaOne (Ulipristal acetate)? Also, please tell me what date did you take EllaOne? What date was the unprotected intercourse? Which pills are you taking for PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)?

Although you can generally take birth control pills anytime as per the previous schedule, I will request you to please tell me complete details for early treatment or action. Do not worry.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thanks for the update.

Ideally, if you were taking pills for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), they also help for birth control, as you must be already aware. If you were taking them as per schedule, there was no requirement to take EllaOne (Ulipristal acetate). Further, since it is five days, you can start with Yasmin (Drospirenone-Ethinyl Estradiol) right away, as you have already experienced bleeding.

I request you to put on some weight as you are underweight. There is nothing to worry. Feel free to ask any questions or to share any additional information.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I am grateful to God that I am able to help you.

It is good that you took EllaOne (Ulipristal acetate) if you had not taken the Yasmin (Drospirenone-Ethinyl Estradiol) pills at the same time every day. That is the right and intelligent thing to do. Further, you now need to start a new pack of Yasmin afresh. One more question you have not asked, but I must guide you, is if you cannot take medicine at the same time every day and you are sexually active, then you can consider other birth control options like an implant which may help you achieve menstrual flow control as well as birth control. If you are married and want a baby in the next two to four months, then continue with the pills and can ask your partner to use a condom.

Do not worry.
