Hello

If a woman is expected to have a menstrual period at a time that is inconvenient , it is often possible to postpone the menstrual flow using BCPs.

Woman's normal menstrual flow can often be postponed by starting BCPs within 5 days of the beginning of her last menstrual flow. When she comes to the end of a 21-day pack of BCPs, she goes immediately into the next pack of BCPs (skipping the "week off.") She then continues with the second pack until such time as it becomes convenient to have a menstrual flow. Stopping the pills at this time will provoke a normal flow about 3 days after stopping the pills.

But I was told before by my Dr. that I cannot take Birth Control Pills anymore since I am over 35 and I smoke. Is there any other way?
