Q Hi, I have a professional exam coming up in November and I want to postpone my periods which is likely to fall on exam dates. Im married and have used Femilon for 1 1/2 years previously. No medical problems as per my yearly health checkup. I want to know exactly when I should start a pill to postpone the periods in November? Will there be any side effects that is not desirable during exams, like sluggishness, memory problems, like that? Im 5 5 and weigh 55 kgs.This time periods has started on Aug 22nd.usually a 26- 30 days cycle. Thanks
Since you have 26-30 day cycle, so your next menses will be between 16-20th September. You should start taking tablets 2-3 days prior i.e from 13-14th September and continue it till the time you dont want menses to come. The tablets wont cause memory related complications. However they can cause mild nausea, breast tenderness, etc.
