You’re in control
Your period, on your time
Life can be unexpected. Periods, on the other hand, can be frustratingly consistent. Whether it’s a holiday, a wedding, or anything in between, having your period at the wrong time can turn a happy occasion into a challenge.
Prescription period delay treatments let you take control of your cycle, postponing your period so it works around your plans, not the other way around.
Introducing a medical solution
A proven way to delay your period
When taken as prescribed, the period delay tablet Norethisterone is a safe and effective way to control your menstrual cycle.

Frequently asked questions
More info about Period Delay
About delaying your period
Is it safe to delay my period?
Delaying your period is generally safe if treatment is prescribed by a licensed doctor. Any other method to delay your period may be unsafe and ineffective.
Will delaying my period reset my menstrual cycle?
Generally, your cycle will shift based on when you stop taking the treatment. Your period will usually arrive a few days after stopping, and your next period will typically be about 28 days after that. However, everyone's body is different, and your cycle may return to its original pattern over time.
Is there any way to delay my period naturally?
There are no proven or medically supported ways to reliably delay your period naturally. Any non-prescribed method may be unsafe and ineffective, so it's best to follow your doctor’s advice.
About period delay treatments
How long after taking Norethisterone will my period start?
After taking your last tablet, your period typically starts within 2–3 days. However, how long it takes may vary slightly from person to person.
Can Norethisterone stop a period that has already started?
No, Norethisterone must be started three days before your period is due. It cannot stop bleeding once your period has already started.
That’s why preparation is so important when it comes to period delay treatment. Make sure you begin treatment at the right time, and take the prescribed dose.
How long can I take Norethisterone for?
You can take the tablets for a maximum of 30 days in a single course, which allows you to delay your period for up to 4 weeks. Taking the tablets for longer is not recommended and increases the risk of side effects.
Managing symptoms
Can period delay treatments help with period pain?
Period delay treatment can prevent or postpone your next period, which may help you avoid period-related pain and cramps during an important event or occasion. However, treatment is not primarily a treatment for period pain itself. If you regularly experience severe or disruptive pain, speak to your doctor about possible causes and treatment options.
Can period delay treatment help with PMS symptoms?
Delaying your period may mean you do not experience some of the symptoms you typically associate with the days around your period. However, period delay treatment is not specifically designed to treat PMS. If you regularly experience significant PMS symptoms, a healthcare professional can discuss other treatment options with you.
Can I delay my period if I get migraines or headaches?
Depending on the type of headaches or migraines you get, you may not be able to take period delay treatments.
Regular headaches are typically safe with treatment, but if you experience migraines with aura, Norethisterone is not typically safe to use and we will not prescribe it. Symptoms of migraine with aura include blind spots, seeing zig-zag patterns, and temporary vision loss.
