Hi, Welcome to HCM.
Novelon is a low dose contraceptive pill that contains Desogestrel with Ethinyl Estradiol.
It is used in contraception and regulation of menstrual cycle disorders.
You need take the tablets continuously for 21 days to maintain drug levels in blood and then following which you get withdrawal bleeding 3 - 4 days after the last pill has been taken.
This medication has not been recommended to be used for postponing periods.
If you want postponement of periods, kindly consult Gynecologist and take proper advise.
