Brief Answer:
METHOD EXPLAINED
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have no idea about Meghalaya, I can tell you what would be easily available in XXXXXXX
You can ask a well known pharmacy in Meghalaya about the brand names, and they can suggest alternatives, and before taking them, you can cross check with me too.
Generally for the purpose of postponing periods, progesterone containing pills are used.
Common brand names are Meprate, Deviry, Primolut - N.
You should take 5 mg of any of these tablets twice a day, starting from the 20th of December, and continue till the 28th of December.
After stopping the pills, bleeding can occur anytime within a week ( within 7 days of stopping the pills ).
If you are absolutely sure that you do not have irregular cycles ( no chance of period starting earlier than expected ), then you can follow this regime.
If you have sometimes had a period earlier than usual, to be on the safer side, it is best to start the tablets from 16 - 18th of December itself.
Hope the answer is clear.
Feel free to discuss further.
