delaying period

[fruitsalad]

what are the pills the doctor can give you for delaying your monthly period, as mine is due half way through my holiday.

Only thing i've heard of is continuing to take your contraceptive pill (instead of the 7 day break).

I have heard the same, if you continue to take the contraceptive pill it will stop you from getting your period

thanks for your answers i dont take the pill but i have heard of something you can take that does delay your period, it probably is something like the pill, will have to pay a visit to the docs.

you can go to the doctors and get norethisterone you have to pay for it,thats what i use when ever im going away and im due on.

tradey's right, cannot remember what I was prescribed but going back 17 years, I was given some tablets by my GP to delay my periods - so must be something probably even better now...they certainly stop you having a miserable time on holiday...

You can definitely get somehting, my brothers girlfriend did, I didn't realise you had to pay for them!

Yep, tradey's right., it's called Norethisterone. Your GP should be able to prescribe it for you. :o)
