WasWhen is your Umrah flight and what is your expected date of periods?

widely prescribed for given indication and licenced for period delay in UK
My suggestion would be that if u want to take pills u should start them from second day of your period had continue taking the white pills till the day u return. Do not interrupt or miss the white pills coz that can cause breakthrough bleeding. Also if u start taking primolut for delaying periods just few days before that is risky coz you could be pregnant and those are not safe in pregnancy.So the contraceptive pills will prevent pregnancy and can be continued till the time u come back.Otherwise if you dont want to take ocp then there is no other safe option considering the dates you will be traveling in.Its good to consult a gynaecologist

Does Ocp in future may cause any serious problems regarding pregnancy?

ocps have more risk profile than progestogens saying that they are also an option they usually take a bit long time .by the way if you use this forum for window shopping you can get appropriate help best is see any clinician near your place its worth paying and fave face to face consult for reassurance
