Question
I am currently using Avalo contraceptive pills in the form of 28 pills, all white in color. My menstrual cycle falls on the 28th to the 1st of every month. In the near future, my company will organize a trip on this day. So the doctor asked me, can I use birth control pills to delay my period and what drugs? Looking forward to your advice, thank you very much!

Hello! To delay your period, you can use medications that help delay it, such as a daily oral contraceptive that contains estrogen. If you want to delay your period, you must take the pill at least 3 days before your period, take 1 pill a day and take it at a certain time of the day, if you forget, you need to take it as soon as you remember.
However, in your case, you are taking the Avalo oral contraceptive containing only Levonorgestrel. Therefore, if you want to delay your period, you need to switch to estrogen-containing drugs. Besides, you need to consider the benefits when using the drug because the side effects of the drug cause discomfort such as dizziness, nausea, headache, abdominal pain, bleeding... Besides, the drug has many types. and may or may not be suitable for each person's body. Therefore, to ensure safety for your health, you should consult your doctor before taking the drug.
