Brief Answer:
Can postpone the periods

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,

I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.

Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, stress or hormonal imbalance.
If there are no chances of pregnancy, then it can be due to other causes.
You can take the tablets for postponing the periods.

For this, you need to take Regestrone tablets from today onwards till you want to delay the periods.

No, there are no side effects.
The periods occur within 5-7 days of stopping the tablets.

Hope you found the answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
