Hi & Welcome.
If you are not taking any oral contraceptive pills, to postopone your period you need to take one tablet of Norethisterone (5 mg) 3 times a day, beginning 3 days before you expect your period to start. You should take the tablets at the same time every day, one in the morning, one around mid-day & one in the evening.
Continue it for the days (3-4 days) you want to postpone 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.
