Family Vacation, Periods Due To Start Then, Not On Birth Control, Medication To Delay Periods
Hi, my family and I are going on vacation for one week in just a few weeks, I am scheduled to start my period that same week. I was wondering if there s anything that can be done to delay it. I am not on any birth control . I am 32 and my periods have always been normal and pretty much on time. Can you help? Thank you so much for your time!

Hello.
You can take preparation of medroxyprogesterone by the name of MEPRATE 10 mg daily till you want to postpone your periods.
But this medicine has to be started at least 3 to 4 days prior to starting of your periods date,otherwise the effect won't come.
Thanks
