Answer
Hello, shagufta,

Your period should come immediately, if everything is normal. It wouldn't be coming early. It would be coming late. If it isn't, then as you said, you may be pregnant. If you are pregnant, and you leave it alone, you won't have to worry about bleeding during ramzan. If you do have a period during ramzan, you don't have to fast during the days you are bleeding. If you want to fast anyway, I'm sure no one would stop you.

There are several reasons why taking a pill to bring on your period is a very bad idea. These pills are powerful and can do serious harm to a woman's body. I actually tried something similar when I was younger, and it didn't work anyway. You could take a pill, and instead of being finished with bleeding by the beginning of ramzan, you could end up bleeding heavily the whole time. Some women even bleed to death. It's not something to mess with. A person shouldn't be taking pills like that without a doctor's supervision. A decent doctor would never prescribe these pills over the internet. A decent doctor will examine you and take a medical history.

There is another problem, and that is that I am not a doctor. I can't prescribe for you anyway. I would be practicing medicine without a license, and I could get into a lot of trouble.

If the problem is that you are pregnant, and you don't want to be, or you are afraid of what your family will do if you are, then you should not take powerful pills to end it. I know you did this once before, and from the sound of things, you were lucky. But these pills CAN kill a woman. It's not worth the risk.

If you are pregnant, I recommend you go to another part of India and stay there until your baby is born. You can give your baby up for adoption. There is a home that will let you stay during your pregnancy. Here is how you can get in touch with them:

St Michael's Home
Indiranagar
Bangalore  560 035

There are some other organizations that can also help.

Please leave your body alone and stay safe. Let me know how you do, and feel free to write back any time.
