I’m going on holiday on 1st june and due on 2nd June, my cycles are like clockwork!

has anyone taken Norethisterone to delay period and was it okay?
Could I take it for a week starting now, then stop and shift my period around? Does anyone know?

thanks

Start taking it 3 days before your period is due. Continue it until the end if your holiday and then stop. You should start bleeding about 2-3d later. I wouldn't take it now - that won't help. I felt fine taking it - maybe a bit more bloated but nothing major.

I have. I bought it from an online pharmacy.

You can't buy over the counter but you could buy from a private online pharmacy. Or you could ask your GP for a prescription (I think there is some variation around the country about whether they will prescribe for you, but I think most will). You can also use provera for same purpose- better if you are higher risk for getting a blood clot.
