Question. I have an important family function coming up and I would like to know if there are tablets to delay my periods. If so, could you tell me which ones to have and when?
Answer. You can consider attending the function even when you have your periods. The old view that your menstrual cycles make you dirty and impure no longer hold good. Ask your doctor for an oral contraceptive which you would have to take daily till the completion of the function. If taken close to the last period, the tablet is likely to give you a delayed period.
