Can I Take Birth Control Pills Only During Intercourse?
I want to see if we can take birth control pills when we want to have sex. Because my husband is out of town, and rarely see him. At this time I am still breastfeeding, my baby is only 3 months old. Instructions please. Thank you

Hello, Melissa. The birth control pill is a type of hormonal contraception. Because it works hormonally, its effectiveness also has certain rules. Birth control pills generally have worked within a month of use. And the effectiveness is also expected to be consumed at the same time every day. Birth control pills will not be effective if only used for a certain time. If your condition is like that then you can use external contraceptives such as condoms. However, because you are currently breastfeeding, there is natural pregnancy protection for up to 6 months of breastfeeding. Provided exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months. For women who are breastfeeding, they can do other types of family planning options such as IUD, Implant, 3 Months Injectable KB, 1 month Injectable KB, and KB pills. For the best and most suitable option for you, you should discuss it with your obstetrician or midwife.
