Can Periods Be Delayed?

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to delay your own period. My period tracker app on my phone has been super accurate and predicts my period to start on the 22nt. This would be a SUPER inconvenient day for me to start. I also should include that I am on tri-sprintec birth control and am wondering if it is possible to delay my period a few days either naturally or with my birth control.

Hi, I think you can continue the active birth control pills till you don't want periods. It will help you in delaying the periods. Don't start the placebo pills. Whenever you will stop the active pill and start the placebo pills, you will get the periods in few days. Consult a gynecologist for proper prescription.
