Can I Take I Pill To Prepone Periods?
Brief Answer:
DO NOT TAKE I PILL, PROVIDE MORE DETAILS
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Bleeding after I pill is unpredictable, many women do not bleed after taking it.
It is not at all a recommended method of regulating , preponing or postponing cycles.
Why do you wish to prepone your periods ?
What dates do you wish to avoid specifically ?
When was your last menstrual period ?
What is your normal cycle length and duration ?
What is your height and weight ?
Once you let me know these details, I can guide you regarding what medication to take.
All the best
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Brief Answer:
CANNOT PLAN OVULATION THAT WAY, AM SORRY.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
I am afraid that you can regulate the date your periods to a certain extent, but not the date of ovulation !
As such, today is 31st of August.
To induce a period, you have to take medication for 5 days , following which you might have a period anytime within a week.
So you see, if you start the medication today ( generally progesterone containing tablets like Meprate, Deviry, Sysron - N etc are taken twice a day ) for 5 days, you stop around the 5th of September, then you can have a period as early as 6th of September, or anywhere till the 12th of September.
So it is just not possible to target ovulation in this manner.
HOpe the answer is clear to you.
Take care.
