Brief Answer:
Norethisterone to delay the periods
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Periods can be delayed by the norethisterone tablet, which is a progesterone.
It should be started 5-6 days prior to the expected periods, and should be continued till the time the periods are not desired.
It has minimal side effects like slight bloating.
