Planned to take this to delay my period before holiday.

My period came earlier than I hoped (last Sunday), and I started the tablets the same day, hoping it may make it lighter/shorter.

I took it for maybe three days and thought my period was finishing, so stopped. But my periods not finished and is now lasting longer, and like a day two period. I have cramp which I didn’t have when it started initially, although usually do.

I’m on holiday now. Is it worth starting the tablets again, or have I mucked things up enough?

You have to take them at least 3 days before your period starts to delay it. I don't think it works any other way. I wouldn't take them and would just deal with the period.
