How Period Delay Medication Works

Period delay tablets contain norethisterone, a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone. In a normal menstrual cycle, falling progesterone levels trigger the shedding of the womb lining, causing your period. By taking norethisterone tablets, you maintain progesterone levels and delay this process. When you stop taking the tablets, your progesterone levels fall and your period will begin, usually within 2-3 days. The treatment is temporary and does not affect your long-term fertility or regular cycle. It is important to start taking the tablets 3 days before your expected period and continue taking them for as long as you wish to delay your period, up to a maximum of 17 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can I delay my period?

You can delay your period for up to 17 days. Taking the tablets for longer is not recommended as effectiveness may reduce and side effects may increase.

Will it affect my fertility?

No. Period delay treatment is temporary and does not affect your long-term fertility. Your regular cycle will resume after you stop taking the tablets.

What about side effects?

Some women experience breast tenderness, bloating, or mood changes. These are usually mild and temporary. Serious side effects are rare but will be discussed during your consultation.

Can I use it with contraception?

Period delay tablets do not provide contraceptive protection. If you are using hormonal contraception, alternative methods may be more suitable. We will discuss your options during the consultation.
