Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I’m going away on holiday next week and I’m going to take primolut N to delay my period for about 10days while on holiday. The doctor said I will get my period about 2/3days after I stop taking it. But I’ve been reading that some people have had delays on there period the next month, is this a side effect? Will this pill effect my future periods or will everything just go back to normal and Will it effect my fertility?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Any hormone can potentially affect the following period but it would not have a long-term effect. There are a number of women who take hormonal birth control for a number of years and stop to conceive so the short-term use for a few days is not likely to have a long-term effect.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
