Had PCOS. Taking Femilion Tablets. Serve The Purpose Of Contraception As Well?

Hello Doctor,
I am 31 yrs old, going to be married in 2 months. I have a regular 28 day cycle, but I had PCOS earlier. But I have been cured now. The problem is my marriage date is coinciding with my period date. I have been suggested to take Femilon tablets to postpone my periods as well as for contraception after marriage.
Is it okay to postpone periods with Femilon ? What type of side effects should I expect ?

Hi,

It is true that Femilon is a contraceptive and is used for many problems. It can work in postponing your periods while you are not planning a baby.

Some side effects include those of gastro-intestinal tract: nausea, vomiting, and general health like weight gain, bleeding, deep vein thrombosis, etc.

Therefore, if you plan to use it for long time, please consult your OG.

Hope it helped!
