Q: Does taking postponement tablets affect pregnancy? I am planning to become pregnant but want to postpone my periods this month. Will it effect my plans of becoming pregnant?

A:Postponement tablets are hormone preparations and can affect pregnancy by sometimes causing an abnormal baby. It is thus a good idea to avoid getting pregnant in the cycle in which these may be taken.
