Frequently Asked Questions About Period Delay

What are period delay tablets and how do they work? −
Period delay tablets contain a hormone called norethisterone, which keeps the lining of the womb from breaking down. This postpones your period for as long as you continue taking the tablets, making it useful for events like holidays or important occasions.
When should I start taking them? +
You'll usually need to start taking the tablets about 3 days before your period is due, and continue taking them for as long as you want to delay it, up to a maximum recommended period.
How long can I delay my period for? +
Period delay tablets are typically only recommended for short-term use, up to around 2-3 weeks at a time. Your clinician will confirm the safe duration based on your circumstances during your consultation.
Do I need a physical appointment to get this treatment? +
No, you can complete a short online consultation, and a clinician will review your medical history to confirm the tablets are safe and suitable for you before they're prescribed.
Will this stop me from getting pregnant? −
No, period delay tablets are not a form of contraception and won't prevent pregnancy. You'll need to continue using your regular contraception alongside them if needed.
Are there any side effects? +
Some people notice mild bloating, headaches, breast tenderness, or nausea while taking them. These effects are usually mild and temporary, resolving once the course is finished.
What happens after I stop taking them? +
Your period will usually start within 2-3 days of stopping the tablets, once hormone levels drop and the womb lining is no longer being held back.
Is this treatment suitable for everyone? +
Not everyone is suitable — factors such as a history of blood clots, certain migraines, liver conditions, or pregnancy can rule it out. This is why your full medical history is reviewed carefully during the consultation before anything is prescribed.
