Medical citations needed edit

Hi @Dikshas05 @Egt345 @Houmony, I wanted to let you know that topics related to human health, especially when it comes to side effects and effectivness on human health, have more stringent sourcing requirements than most articles on Wikipedia. As such this content requires medical sources that satisfy the MEDRS sourcing guidelines. If you want to find such sources to support the content, please do so and you can add the content back into the article. If you have any question, please feel free to reach out.

Effectiveness
There is a 2% or less probability of pregnancy for users with a lower body mass index (BMI) than 25.[1]  However, the probability of pregnancy increases by 3.8% among users with a BMI of higher than 29.9.[2] Taking more than one pill does not prove effective, regardless of the user’s BMI.
Taking the pill after pregnancy does not affect the fetus or user, due to Julie being a levonorgestrel.[2]
Safety and side effects
Just like any other medication, specifically birth control, Julie contains high amounts of levonorgestrel which can affect the menstrual cycle.[3] Common side effects that may occur when taking Julie may be bleeding between periods, irregular periods (earlier or later), late periods, nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, dizziness, and breast tenderness.[3]
Medication interactions of an undesirable side effect may happen with the listed drugs: anti-HIV medications, anti-seizure medications, Rifampin, Griseofulvin, and St. John’s wort.[4]
