Should I Take Contraceptive Pills For Postponing Periods?
Hi Doc,
I wanted to postpone my period due to my wedding...my date last month was on 2nd and i generally get periods 1/2 days before..so the gyane had put me on Primolut Nor 10mg...and she prescribed 2tab for 3 days and then 1 tab for 7 days...and she said after you stop taking it you will have your period within a week....and she also suggested that 3 days after my period starts i shouldtake a contraceptive Pill ( Yasmine) for 21 days...but how ever i was not sure if i should be on medcines for so long so she said taking this contraceptive pill is your call...
However can you tell me if i should take this contraceptive pill?..also its been a day since it started taking Primolut Nor 10mg...everything seems fine but i have read online that there could be slight bleeding initially....is that true and is the bleeding after i stop taking this medicine irregulat & heavy with prolonged days?? im worried cz i have always had regular periods with heavy bleeding on 2 days out of 5 days.
Please help

Hi, I think if you want to delay your periods, you can continue primolut N. There is no need to take contraceptive pill if you don't want contraception now. You may get some heavy bleeding for 2 to 3 days. If it persists or is very heavy, you can take some medicines like Tranexamic acid to stop the bleeding. You can discuss with your doctor regarding this. Hope I have answered your question.
