Brief Answer:
You can take progesterone ( Norethisterone) to delay your period.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us.

You can delay your menses up to two weeks with Primolut-n (Norethisterone) tablet.

It is very effective in person who are not taking any type of oral contraceptive pills.

Primolut-n is a prescription drug, so you should consult a Gynecologist for the same.

You can start taking it 2-3 days before your expected period date and stay till the date you want to delay your period.

Your period will resume in 2-3 days after discontinuation of drug.

Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more.
