Contraception

How late can I get my next contraceptive injection? Gynecologist in Seoul, Korea

The short answer

Aim to have your next injection on time, about every 3 months. Many guidelines allow a grace period of a couple of weeks, but rules vary by product. If you are late, use condoms and contact us; you may need a pregnancy test before the next dose.
