Advice for Period Delay
Period delay medications work by maintaining high levels of progesterone, which prevents the womb lining from shedding. There are two main options:
- Norethisterone tablets – A synthetic progestogen taken 3 days before the expected period to delay menstruation for up to 17 days.
- Combined contraceptive pills – When taken continuously without the usual break, they can delay or completely stop periods.
Once medication is stopped, a period typically occurs within 2-3 days.
