I got married six months back. We are using contraceptive pills (Mala D) to avoid pregnancy (Please note, we are aware of how/when to take the pills).
But my wife is facing following side afftects by taking these pills :- - vomiting after taking pills - periods twice a month / sometimes it delays - excessive bleeding during periods - clotted / thickend (fluid in nature) bleeding during periods
My wife hesitates to go to a doctor (as she is not comfortable to discuss this matter). So we would request you to please guide us the preventive and corrective measures. She has stopped taking these pills since 1.5 months. But monthly cycle disorderness and monthly cycle complications mentioned above are still there.

she should see a doctor immediately. Instead of asking her to take contraceptives, you should take recourse of condoms which do not have any side effects whatsoever.
In case of a burst condom for emergency purpose once in a while you wife can take the new emergency contraceptive called i-pill
please advice as to why my periods is delayed today 30/11/06 is the 30th day according to my last menstural cycle. i usually have periods every 24 days. i am a mother of an infant of nine months and started to get my first period after delivery exactly 30 days after my delivery
I got married 6 months back and i was taking Femilon to avoid pregnancy.From my last periods i have stopped taking femilon.It has been 29 days when i got my last periods.I havent got my periods now after the last periods.Is there any chances of pregnancy? And one more thing,we have planed for a piligrimage this weekend(i.e 22nd of oct 2006).If i take any periods delay tablets, will that be effective and safe? Please advice.
There have been several incidents in the past where some very important occassions have clashed with my periods and the only option left for me was to forcibly delay them.
But before going that, I made sure to see a gyno and take his/her advice and took only those medicines prescribed by them.
Fortunalety I never had any problems while I was on oral contraceptives. Inspite of that, I go for this option when it is absolutely essentail because at the end of the day, you are taking external hormones to delay a natural process. So the usage should be extremely minimal.
RE:Experience while delaying periods.

I am suffering from the same prob. When I take tab "Pre-molute-N" for dealying the period, it works but next time when i get my periods, i suffer from too much bleeding & nurvosness..
i took ovaral a week before i was due for my periods.. my periods got delayed and i got them after 5 days of stopping the medicine. durinf the time i was taking the medicine i experienced a very bad nausea, for which i had to take an antacid, with which i was fine.
I have to share my experience with others.I had body pain through out my usage of Oral contraceptives.I couldnt work or concentrate.I had mood swings.
After I consulted my doctor,she was also surprised with the side effects I had.She gave me a milder dose but the pain persisted.After monitoring my condition,the doctor suggested that I give up Oral Contraceptives.Now I feel fine and am without pain.
I was adivsed by the doctor to take OC in order to regularize my periods.
