Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I was expecting my period to start on the 21st, but it hasn’t started yet. I’m going on a trip soon and would like to delay my period for about 8 days. Is there anything I can do to delay it?

 

Answered by Dr. Mini Sood

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

You can take progesterone pills, 10 mg twice a day for 7 days, to delay your period. However, make sure you do not have any history of headaches, weight problems, or high blood pressure before starting the medication. It’s important to consult with your healthcare provider before taking it to ensure it's safe for you.

 

Thanks
