Can you delay a period without using the pill?

[MrsMuddle]

I've just realised that my period will come next month when we are on holiday. We're away for 10 days, and it will last about 6 days. Lately, I've had really heavy periods, and I really need to be in close proximity to a toilet for at least three of these days. (Sorry if TMI). Could I get anything from the doc, or, preferably, from the chemist to delay for a week or so? I don't think my GP would give me a pill prescription - I have high blood pressure, and I'll be flying to go on holiday. Any help would be VERY much appreciated.

there is a hormone tablet called norethisterone (SP!) that you can get, that should do the trick

from the GPs obviously

If you are on the pill (i was on cilest) you can take that without a break between packs. hth.

ah, without using the pill. sorry. (wurz shrinks back to the corner of the room)

you could get yourself knocked up?!

Ha ha ha, Nicky! I think I'd rather have a year-long period! I'll try your suggestion, lulumama. Thanks.

probably the best option. enjoy yourself on hol!
