Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am 28 years old and had unprotected sex with my husband a few hours back. I am a lactating mother and I do not want to get pregnant under any circumstances. Kindly suggest a medicine which is most effective in this situation to avoid pregnancy without affecting breastfeeding and my five month old baby.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The emergency contraceptive pill is not a good idea. You can use Copper-T, a spermicidal jelly.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
Will it be painful? By the time, I will be able to purchase the medicine and it will be 9 hours after intercourse. Will it be effective?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Copper-T insertion is better option in your case. It will be a slight painful procedure, but you can have painkillers. Yes, you can have after 9 hours. No problem.
