Hello, thanks for posting on HCM.
Yes I understand your situation. It is very much possible to postpone your period.
You need to start Norethisterone containing pills just 4 to 5 days before you suspect the date of your periods. You can continue to take the pills as long as you want to delay the periods but not more than 1 week. Once you are done with your visit you need to stop the pills after which in 3-4 days your period will start.
But it is very important to discuss this option with your gynecologist and take proper prescription from him/ her to start the medication.
I hope I have given satisfactory answer to your query, if you still have any more query kindly write back to me and I will be happy to help.
Thank you
