Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m 24 years old women with regular menstrual cycle. I got periods on last april 11. As per my cycle the next periods will come by may 9 or 10. But I want to get it earlier like may 4 or 5. Can you suggest any medicine for that? If you do so I will be greatful to you.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is not possible to advance the periods by means of medication. However, it can be postponed by taking a tablet containing 'Norethisterone'. You need to start taking this medication twice daily for 2 to 3 days before your period date and continue to take for 3 to 5 days. After stopping the tablet, you should get your periods in 5 to 7 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Ashakiran S
