Brief Answer:
Norethisterone pill is suggested to postpone.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

I suggest you to take Norethisterone pill (like PRIMOLUT-N) to delay or postpone your period. It should be taken twice daily 3 days prior to period due date and continued as long as you want to delay (max 1 week).

It is BEST option instead of PREPONING your period as withdrawal bleeding is unpredictable after taking hormonal pill. You may NOT get your period on the expected date and it can mess your family function. POSTPONEMENT of period is MORE SAFE in this case. This is prescription medication.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and take care yourself.

Regards,
Dr Soumen

Brief Answer:
Start from 12th Nov.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for follow up query.

You should start taking the above mentioned pill from 12th NOV and continue for next ONE week.

If you need to extend more days (beyond 1 week), you can continue them for few days. You will get your period within 5-7 days after stopping them.

Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion.

All the best and good luck.

Regards,
Dr S Patra
