default
Posted on Wed, 17 Aug 2016
Question: Hi Doctor,

I am traveling out of country on 7th August and need to prepone my periods. My periods cycle is 25-30 days. My last period was on 12th July. I need to avoid my premenstrual symptoms which generally starts 7-10 days before the periods date - bloating of body, tender breasts, constipation, mood swings. Since i am traveling, its very discomforting.

Here are the other details you might require -
Age - 34
Height - 5.3 inches
Weight - 68 kgs
Medication - 100 mcg Eltroxin (due to hypothyroidism)

Kindly suggest a medicine to prepone the periods. I have heard of Deviry. Is it safe? If not, please prescribe which medicine to take and the dosage.

Much thanks!
doctor

Brief Answer:
Deviry would work

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

If you want to prepone your periods Deviry is a good option, you could take it from today 10 mg three times a day for 3 days and then discontinue.

You will get your period in after 2-3 days XXXXXXX upto a week after stopping the tablets.

So you will be getting your period in Maximum in next 10 days .

If you are having serious premenstrual symptoms, you should consider using other forms of treatment, Like oral contraceptive pills for at least 3 months, they can help relieve the symptoms.

Vitamin B6 and evening primrose may also have some limited effect on relieving the symptoms and can be tried.

Hope this helps.
Regards.

Thank you Doc! So, I should start Deviry 10mg from tonight and complete a dosage of 9 tablets? Are there any side effects of preponing periods? Since i have never done this before. Also, since i am preponing my periods, when can i expect it next month?

Kindly clarify, thanks

Brief Answer:
yes

Detailed Answer:
Yes, you can start it today.

No real side effects of preponing periods, but in some women very rarely it may not work, so do keep that in mind. In a few there may be irregular periods for next few months.

If you do not do it often it will not have any effect on the uterus or your health.

Do not worry, you can safely take it.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
