Advice on medication for ‘period delay’ or ‘delaying period’
The term ‘period’ refers to a specific part of the menstrual cycle, where bleeding occurs. There can be situations where someone may wish to delay their period, for example for a holiday or special event. A delay to the commencement of someone’s period may be achieved using medication. Two common examples of medications that are used for period delay are norethisterone tablets and medroxyprogesterone tablets.
Bretton Park Healthcare recognises that this will be an important enquiry for many individual patients. However, Bretton Park Healthcare is unable to provide advice, or prescribe medication, for the purposes of period delay, where this is required for events such as a holiday or other special events. A number of other healthcare organisations do offer such a service. Please see the links below for some organisations to help with this. This is not an endorsement of any particular organisation.
