Forgot the contraceptive injection appointment and accidentally had sex Many people feel shocked, afraid of getting pregnant, and don’t know what to do next.
Is there a risk of pregnancy?
If the contraceptive injection appointment is missed by more than 2 weeks, the effectiveness in preventing pregnancy decreases If you have sex without using a condom or other contraceptive methods, there is a relatively high risk of pregnancy.
What should be done?
1. Don’t panic, quickly assess the situation Consider how many days have passed since the original injection appointment and when the sexual intercourse occurred.
2. Contact a nearby service unit such as a public hospital, health center, or clinic in the gold card system for advice and to assess the appropriate course of action.
3. Take a pregnancy test If you’re still unsure whether you’re pregnant, wait 14 days after the sexual intercourse and then take a pregnancy test with a reliable test kit.
4. Plan a new long-term contraceptive method Consult a doctor about whether to return to the same injection method or switch to another method such as:
- Implant
- Birth control pills
- IUD
Choose a method that suits your lifestyle for continuity and best results.
