Suggest Contraceptive Pill To Prevent Getting Pregnant?

Hello Dr., my periods are regular, they occur usually on the same date every month (around 29th) or just a day before or after. But my last 2 periods i.e., in August and September I had them 3 days before (august I had on 27th and September on 24th). My husband is coming down for holiday on October 16th and will be here until November 9th. I would like to know what contraceptive pill can I take to prevent getting pregnant and from when I have to start it. Also, I am visiting my in-laws from October 19th to October 28th (have some poojas to attend). How can I postpone my period so that I have a happy vacation. Please advice.

Hello,

From 16th Oct to 18th Oct, you should not take any kind of pill due to safe period. No chance of pregnancy.

From 19th to 28th Oct, you should take norethisterone tab 3 times daily to postpone period. Some back up method like condom is advisable during this time.

You will get withdrawal bleeding within a week of stopping the medication. Rest of the days up to 9th Nov, you can take emergency contraceptive pill to prevent pregnancy.

Hope, it helps. Good luck.
