Hi,

Welcome to HCM. I have gone through the question and understand your concerns.

Post oval is an oral contraceptive pill -estrogen + progesterone used to regulate your menstrual cycles. It is associated with side effects like migraine, weight gain, mood disorders, thrombosis embolism and breast cancer. So take it under medical supervision.

Hope I have answered your questions. If you have any further queries I will be happy to help you.

Regards,
