Request for period delay consultation
Hi Doctor, I am 22 years old and my weight is 46 kg. I have a regular menstrual cycle of 27 to 28 days, and today is Day 24 of my cycle. I want to delay my periods so that I do not get them at least until Day 27 of my cycle. This is my first time considering a period-delay tablet, and I have never used one before. Could you please evaluate my health, prescribe a safe option, and let me know from which day I should start taking it?

Period-delay tablets are commonly used and generally safe for occasional use, but since you've never taken one before, a doctor needs to check your health profile first, especially given your weight of 46kg, before prescribing the right option for you.
Next Steps
With your period expected around day 27 to 28, please see a gynaecologist within the next day or two so there's enough time to start the tablet before your cycle begins, since timing matters for it to work.
Health Tips
Avoid starting any period-delay tablet on your own without a prescription, since the wrong timing or choice can cause breakthrough bleeding.
