How to stop your period - postpone your period:

Ask your doctor for a prescription for norethisterone 5 mg tablets. Take one tablet 3 times a day, start the course 3 days before expected onset of period, and continue every day until you’re ready for the period to begin. It is not advisable to take the tablets for longer than 10-14 days. The period begins approximately 2-3 days after you stop taking the tablets.

Remember to discuss the potential side effects with your doctor, and you must be absolutely certain that you cannot be pregnant when you start the medication.

Have a good holiday!
