Suggest Medication And Dosage For Postponing Periods
hi..i generally get periods 2 to 3 days prior to my date.i am going on a holiday and wish to postpone them for a week. My last date of period was 30june. How and when should I start taking the pill.What should be the quantity taken in a day.Some suggest 2 in a day and some 3 in a day.It confuses..kindly guide to delay them for sure.
You should not try to change your period if it is not incredibly important, because this can affect the regularity of your period. You can postpone your period by taking medroxyprogesterone 5 mg twice daily. You should start 5 days before your expected date of bleeding and continue it for 10 days or until desired. Bleeding will not occur until you stop medroxyprogesterone. When you will stop it, bleeding will start within one week of stoppage. Thanks!!
