Q: Saheli Contraceptive Pill

asked by: naveenmalhotra on July 3rd, 2007

Hi,

I am a 28 yr guy from India. I am getting married after two months.

An oral contraceptive pill called "Saheli" is available here for females. The pill claims to be the only pill which is steroid-free. I am planning that my future-wife could use it for the purpose of contraception.

I think this is not a once-a-day pill, rather once/twice-a-week pill.

I want to know when should she start taking this pill (I mean how many days before we have sex). Or is it something related to her menstrual cycle ? Please give a clear picture on this.

Also, if you have any other information w.r.t. "Saheli" contraceptive pill, please share with me.

Kind Regards,

Naveen

Most pills are dependent on the girl's menstrual cycle as to when she should start it. It should come with detailed instructions telling you when you start and when it would be safe to have sex without the use of another form of birth control. For some pills, it's a week. For some, a month. It really just depends on the pill itself. Just refer to the pamphlet that comes with the pills and you'll be fine.

Also ask your doctor any questions you have and tell him any of your concerns. Get as much information as you can before she starts the pills. You will be much safer that way.
