Delaying period?

Question

Hi does anyone know if I can take some kind of pill to delay my period for a week or two? I am not on the pill for contraception (just use condoms) and my period comes on the 6th every month like clockwork.... But in August I am going on holiday from 1st-12th and it is mountain biking with about 8 guys (no other girls)... So will be horrible to be PMT then having my period the whole time I'm away and with no girls to understand/sympathise even just with the fact that I might feel more fragile than usual as well as getting cramps etc. anyone know anything I could do to prepare in advance so it doesn't come during that time? Thanks for any help 😊

Answer

Don't take the sugar pills in your birth control, just start the new pack immediately.

Thanks ladies, I am in the UK so will go to the gp and ask about it then, glad to hear it's possible :-)

Answer

In the UK we have a pill that you can get from your GP called Norethisterone. It's great at delaying your period, you need to start taking it 3 days before AF is due. The only downside is that the first period after taking it (arrives about 3 days after your last tablet) is heavier and a little more painful (if you suffer from cramps). But it's worth it if you're going away.
