Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your situation.
Yes, it is advisable for delaying the periods.
If you are not taking any oral contraceptive pills, to delay your period you need to take one tablet of Regestrone (5 mg) 3 times a day, beginning 3 days before you expect your period to start (March 6th). You should take the tablets at the same time every day, one in the morning, one around midday and one in the evening.
Continue it for the days you want to delay your period. Then stop the medicine and wait for 7 days. Withdrawal bleeding will occur within this time period. Since this is a prescription medication you need to take it from your local doctor. Hope this works.
Best wishes.
