I'm really concerned about the number of times I've taken the i-pill. I've noticed my period flow has become less frequent since I started using it, and I'm worried if this could affect my chances of having a healthy pregnancy in the future. Could taking the i-pill so often cause any long-term issues?

Taking I-pills (emergency contraceptive pills) multiple times does not significantly impact future pregnancy chances, but frequent use can lead to menstrual irregularities, including infrequent or lighter periods; however, fertility typically returns to normal after stopping I-pill use, and most women can conceive within a year of stopping, but consult a gynecologist for personalized advice on managing menstrual irregularities and optimizing reproductive health.

I'm just wondering how long we should wait to be intimate again after my wife had a cesarean operation and underwent family planning. Could you let us know what's a safe timeframe for recovery before we get together?
After a cesarean section and family planning procedure, it is generally recommended to wait at least 6 weeks before engaging in sexual activity. This allows for proper healing and reduces the risk of complications. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and attend any follow-up appointments to ensure everything is healing properly.
