Helooo just need to some help pls 🙏
My period is 2 weeks late, im defo not pregnant , the last time I had sex was in june and ive had 2 periods since. I am going away on holiday next week and I dont want it to arrive 😫 (its obvs biding its time and wants to come with me 🤣)
Is there anything I can do to delay this now?
Im 45, probably delayed because of my hypothyroidism and or perimenopause 😅. Just wondering if there is something I could do to keep it from coming with me? Thanks

I got tablets from boots they were £20 and posted to me but if your away next week best to get online and do it now. However I would say my period after was horrific xxxx

Never used myself but I believe Noristherone does the job

Yes I had period delaying medication and I still had cramps throughout and even though it did delay my period I wouldn't recommend it. My period after was incredibly heavy and it was so painful I was bed bound for several hours. I've never had period pain ever like that before. Not sure if there are any other ways to prevent though I'm afraid.

😬 thank you so much i just wasnt sure whether I should take the provera or norethisterone and whether it would work for my already delayed period 🤔.
Sounrs like it might be more trouble than its worth 🥲

I was the same never had period pain like it. I said to my partner I wasn’t taking it again and he was like yeah we ain’t doing that again. It’s because we went away for a weekend with a hot tub but not again lol xxx
