i have been using Microgynon 30 for some time now. when i first bought it from a pharmacy, i actualy asked for pills that work to DELAY period.

The pharmacist recommended me Nordette. then i started using it only when i want to delay period sometimes, without relising it's actualy contraceptive pill. after some time, i have changed from nordette to Microgynon as the pharmacist said its the same as Nordette was out of stock.i read through the booklet of the pill later only to find out its actualy a contraceptive.

i'm confussed...does contraceptive pill also work for delaying period??? i know some doctors recomend patients eat it to regularize a person's period cycle. is this true?

i went on the pill for 2 reasons in highscool. 1 to regulate my periods and 2 to prevent pregnancy. i thought most of the pills prescribed were for bc but also helped with period problems.
