Hi my periods date keep varying every month. I got married last month and on monday there is a puja at my in-laws place. My last menstruation date was on 12th DEC, is it safe to take tablets to postpone my periods? Is there any side affect? Will it affect for pregnancy? Plz answer as i am very much worried.

Dear Anon,

Thanks for reaching out to the community.

Bleeding or spotting between periods is common when you use birth control pills to delay or prevent periods, especially during the first few months. Breakthrough bleeding typically decreases over time, as your body adjusts.

Routinely delaying your period might make it difficult to tell if you're pregnant. I would speak to the doctor prescribing these pills to you for more detailed information.

Best,
Helena
