Brief Answer:
Other type of oc pills.

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Thanks for appreciating the answer and reverting back to me.

I have gone through your reply.
As per your history, 25th May, comes in the fertile period of tihe cycle.
That is between day 10 to 20 of the cycle.

I will suggest you to get the tablet pack of oral contraceptive pills containing Levo norgestrel.
In the tablet named Ovral L, this medication is there.

I will suggest you to take these tablets, 3 in the morning and 2 in the evening.for 2 days.
Alongwith I usually suggest to take antiemetic and antacid tablet containing Pantoprazole and Domperidone to my patients.

You will get withdrawal bleeding within 3 to 10 days after finishing the tablet course.
It can be erratic, it can be early or late and it can be scanty or heavy.

In case you happen to cross your expected date of menses, please get morning's first sample of urine tested for pregnancy.
If negative, please wait for onset of natural periods.
If positive, you can opt for termination of pregnancy with pulls under medical supervision.

I hope this answer helps you.
Please feel free to communicate with me if needed.
Thanks.
