Hi,
Welcome to HCM!

I understand your concern. However, there is absolutely no need to worry. Having periods preponed or postponed by 5-7 days is nothing to worry about and happens very often with many females.

You may continue to take your pills.

However, just make sure your pills don't contain hormones like oestrogen, progesterone, follicle stimulating hormone or leutinizing hormone as these are the hormones which will affect your menstrual cycle.

Hope that solves your query. Feel free to ask if you have any doubt.

Regards,
Dr. Sridhar Reddy
