Is It Safe To Take Femilon While Trying To Conceive?

Hi, I'm 30 year old married female. On Femilon as OC since last 1.5 years. I've been suffering from occasional headaches. Period was regular before I started Femilon, but the I used to suffer terrible pain on the 3rd day... so much so that it hindered normal day-to-day routine. After starting Femilon, the pain disappeared & bleeding has lessened too. I'd like to conceive within next 3-4 months, and hence have to stop taking Femilon, but I dread that those 3rd day pain will start all over again. Please advise.

Hi,

I guess your concern is about safety of femilon, when trying to get pregnant, right. Well I want to tell you that, Femilon is a safer drug and it is usually given for the purpose of contraception (for the birth spacing). So with the use of femilon, getting pregnancy is not possible, if you are taking drug in a right way. But you told that you stopped taking femilon since 3-4 months, so there is a chance of getting pregnant and femilon could not effect your pregnancy.

Secondly, you told me that you had occasional headache. This could happens when patients taking OC for longer period. As you had taken it for 1.5 years, that's why u have occasional headache. But DON'T WORRY, it will relieved with time. I also told that you have pain on the 3rd day of menses, for that you can take pain killers.

With the above discussion you can try out my suggestions:

1. RELAX, EVERY PROBLEM HAVE SOLUTION. Femilon will not effect, if you get pregnant.

2. Try to do coitus during fertile period(it is from 10th-16th day of menses). During this, chances of getting pregnant is high.

3. If you are in a hurry then visit nearby infertility specialist. He /she will help you.

I hope the above information is useful, informative and helpful for you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sudha Rani Panagar
