Hi, Utovlan is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone, also known as norethisterone, that is used to delay periods. When you take Utovlan, it suppresses the menstrual cycle by mimicking the action of progesterone in the body. If you take Utovlan to delay your current period, likely, your next period will also be delayed. This is because the hormones in Utovlan will affect the natural hormonal balance of your body, leading to a delay in the start of your period. However, it is important to note that the length of the delay can vary from person to person. It is also worth mentioning that some women may experience irregular bleeding or spotting while taking Utovlan. This common side effect is not a cause for concern. However, if the bleeding is heavy or persists for an extended period, you should consult your healthcare provider. In summary, if you take Utovlan to delay your period, likely, your next period will also be delayed. However, as with any medication, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action for your specific needs and concerns.
