Can Norethisterone Be Taken To Delay Menstruation?

If my period is due at the end of each month. Am regular as clock work 28 days. Rather than taking norethisterone to delay the period in May when I am on honeymoon (also by taking tablet 3 times a day) Would it be possible to delay Aprils period by 2 weeks thus having a period in mid May and then I ideally would miss the end of May? I m so stressed

Dear thanks for choosing hcm.

I share your concerns. Yes you can delay your periods by norethisterone 5mg tablet. Periods will appear when you stop this tablet. However there is a little chance of periods becoming irregular but you can go for it.

Please write to hcm for follow up queries. Hit a thanks. Wish you good luck. Thank you
