Does masturbation cause PCOS?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm planning my wedding and my gynecologist recommended starting on Femovan for six months, beginning on the 5th day of my cycle. My wedding will happen before I've finished all 21 tablets. Is it still going to be effective? Also, is starting on the 5th day the right approach? I really want to be sure it's all good and if it'll work without any other protection.

Starting Femovan on the 5th day of your cycle is a common practice to ensure its effectiveness. As long as you take the pills consistently every day, even if your marriage occurs before completing the full 21 tablets, Femovan should still be effective in preventing pregnancy. It is important to follow your gynecologist's instructions for the best results. Femovan is a combined oral contraceptive pill containing ethinylestradiol and gestodene.
