Period Delay
Period delay occurs when a woman decides to delay her menses using the Norethisterone tablet. On most occasions, ladies delay their period in order to attend certain events like weddings, parties, holidays, or any upcoming function. At Focal Point Online Pharmacy, we are here to help you achieve your period delay in Walthamstow and across the UK.
A normal menstrual cycle
Tampons
A normal menstrual cycle begins on the first day of a period and stops on the day before the next period. Levels of the female hormone oestrogen start to rise in the course of the first half. This causes the lining of the womb to thicken in preparation for pregnancy.
When an egg is released from the ovaries, ovulation occurs. The menstrual cycle midpoint is between 10 to 16 days after menstruation. Therefore, a woman is most fertile during ovulation.
Progesterone is the hormone that increases menstruation during the second half of the cycle. It prepares the womb for the possible implantation of an egg. The hormone level reduces and the womb lining is shed when the egg fertilisation fails to occur. This is called the monthly period. A typical menstrual cycle is usually between 21 and 40 days.
How period delay tablets work
These periods delay tablets imitate the progesterone-natural female hormone by ensuring the hormone levels are high. It stops the womb’s lining from shedding thus delaying the bleeding/menses.
How long can I delay my period?
With the Norethisterone tablet, you can delay your periods for up to 17 days. The tablet should be taken three days before your normal period date.
Can I take a period delay pill while on the combined pill?
While using a contraceptive pill, it is advisable not to use Norethisterone. Alternatively, you can consecutively take two packets of the combined pills. This could be risky to some women as it may result in spotting, bleeding, or bloating. It is wise to consult your GP or pharmacist before using this method.
