Can Fresh Pack Of Birth Control Pills Be Started If Period Is Delayed?
I am a 25 year old women. I have pcos. I finished one pack of 21 tablets of novelon and then 7 days of no pills. Today is the 28th day but i still have.notgot periods. Should i start the next pack ? Or should i wait ? I have been advised to take it for 6 months. Please suggest. Thank you.
hello dear. understand your concern. i advised that don't start new pack because it can more delay in your period or missed period.look pills have failure rate 0.5-1% ,so first you wait or do UPT test & confirm you are not pregnant. in earlier stage,in some womens pills delay periods ,so don't worry ,may b its just side effects & you got your periods in 3-4 days.
if after that its not solved,then consult your doctor & do USG or hormonal test In absence of pregnancy period can be induce by using higher dose of progesterone like medroxyprogesterone acetate injection/shot. Do regular exercise and reduce weight. In PCOS, reduce 10 % weight help in regularise the period. You can also start metformin and spironolactone to regularize the period in PCOS after consulting the gynaecologist. . hope this may guide you. best regards. dr.sagar
