Brief Answer:
YES, YOU CAN TAKE OCP.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

You can take oral contraceptive pill for short period of time like 1 -2 years before planning pregnancy. No additional supplements are required with those pills if you don't have any kind of nutritional deficiencies.

Oral contraceptive pills are well tolerated and have minimal side effects. You can take XXXXXXX or DRONIS 30 pill (4 th generation) for lesser side effects from day 5 of your period.

Hope, I have answered your query. Have a nice day.
