Period Delay

Having a period every month is a natural part of life for most women, but sometimes they’re due to arrive at the worst possible time.

You may have a special event or a holiday coming up which could be negatively affected by heavy bleeding or period pain.

It’s perfectly safe for most women to take norethisterone to delay their period, meaning you can take control of your cycle and make sure your period doesn’t get in the way.

Norethisterone is NOT a contraceptive, so you must continue to use a barrier method of contraception to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.

To prevent pregnancy and manage your periods on a more long-term basis, a hormonal contraceptive pill or other methods can be considered.

Although this is not recommended, you can use the Yasmin contraceptive pill to delay your period.

You would do this by skipping your 7 day pill-free period and continuing on to your next strip of pills right away.

However, this may not be right for you and you should speak to your doctor before trying it for yourself.
