Period Help!

[AlwaysLonely]

I was due to come on on Wednesday but have unexpectedly had my period start today :(
I have been prescribed Utovlan to delay my period as I have an event this weekend, which I am due to collect later this afternoon.
Does anyone know if I start taking Utovlan, whether it will make my period stop?
Pleeease help, could really do with delaying my period if i can!

Thank you in advance

I'm afraid not.
Can Utovlan Stop Your Period Once it Has Started?
A common question for those looking to buy norethisterone is is there anything to stop their period once it has started. I can totally empathize that you would do anything in the world to stop the week of hell, or sometimes a little longer if you really are unlucky. However, for delaying your period with Utovlan it is vitally important that you must take these tablets two to three days before your period is due. As mentioned earlier the tablets effectively trick the body into thinking that you are not needing a period at present, but if a period has already started the body cannot be tricked back. There are ways you can ease your period such as taking pain killers, applying heat patches, and trying to relax.

That was copied from here.

Will it not have been and gone by the weekend?

How’s long is your period normally, you may finish by the weekend

I know of someone who had terrible trouble with her periods after taking something to delay.
She took it for a holiday, then unexpectedly started her period at the Pyramids. She had nothing with her so had to dash back to the hotel with her husbands T-shirt down her knickers.
After that her periods became very irregular and heavy, eventually she paid privately to see someone specialising in hormones and they said that it was because of what she’d taken.
