How To Delay Your Period

How can you delay your period safely — and who is medically eligible?

Delaying a period is usually done using hormonal contraception under medical guidance. In this episode, we explain how period delay works, which methods are used in Europe, and when a doctor may approve or decline a request.

You’ll learn:

• How the menstrual cycle is regulated by oestrogen and progesterone

• How combined oral contraceptive pills can be taken continuously to postpone withdrawal bleeding

• When a short course of norethisterone may be considered after clinical assessment

• Who may not be suitable for hormonal period delay, including people with clotting risk, uncontrolled hypertension, or migraine with aura

• Possible side effects: breakthrough bleeding, nausea, breast tenderness, mood changes

• When pregnancy testing or medical history review is required before prescribing

• Situations where a prescription request may be declined if safety criteria are not met

We also discuss timing, how long delay is typically safe, and what to expect once hormones are stopped.

This episode complements our full clinical guide:
