A member asked:

Will having contraceptive 3-4 times a year harm me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Taking contraceptives 3-4 times a year won't harm you. I need more information to provide a more complete answer. How are you taking them? 1 pill 3-4 times a year? 1 month 3-4 times a year? You might want to ask the question again but be more specific. Best wishes!
