Does Medication To Postpone Periods Hinder Conception?
We are planning on trying to conceive on our honeymoon, however, I am due on my period, 2 days before we fly, and they are extremely heavy, and last between 7 - 9 days. Because of the type of periods I experience, I don t want to feel restricted on my holiday, so I was wondering if there is anything I can take to stop my period for 18 days, that will not hinder conception? Many Thanks

Hi,
After discontinuing your pills, wait for the next cycle for pregnancy. Progesterone only pills will hinder the ovulation which is controlled by oestrogen. Consult a obstetrician before trying to conceive.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
