Period Delay

Periods can be inconvenient during travel, especially when you’re navigating unfamiliar environments, participating in strenuous activities, or attending special occasions. From hiking in remote areas to relaxing poolside, managing your period can require extra preparation and effort that may disrupt your plans. A period delay pill, such as Norethisterone 5mg, is a simple and effective way to postpone your period until after your trip. By taking these tablets, you can enjoy your holiday or event without the added hassle of dealing with menstrual symptoms like cramps, bloating, or frequent changes of sanitary products.

With our period delay service, TravelHealthUK provides a convenient solution without requiring you to see your GP. Instead, you can arrange an appointment directly with our clinic team to discuss your needs and obtain Norethisterone tablets quickly and efficiently.

At TravelHealthUK, your health and safety are our top priorities. During your appointment, our healthcare team will assess whether Norethisterone is suitable for you. While the period delay pill is a convenient option for many, there are some individuals for whom it may not be appropriate, such as those with a history of blood clots, certain liver conditions, or hormone-sensitive cancers. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, our team will provide expert advice tailored to your medical history.

It’s also important to note that Norethisterone is not a contraceptive and will not prevent pregnancy. If you are sexually active, you should continue to use your usual form of contraception while taking the period delay pill.

How Does the Period Delay Pill Work?

Norethisterone is a progestogen hormone that works by mimicking your body’s natural progesterone. Normally, the drop in progesterone levels triggers the shedding of your uterine lining, resulting in your period. By taking Norethisterone, you maintain higher levels of progesterone in your body, delaying the onset of menstruation.

To use Norethisterone for period delay, you should begin taking one tablet three times a day, starting three days before your expected period. You continue taking the tablets daily until you’re ready for your period to resume, at which point stopping the medication will trigger a withdrawal bleed within a few days. Norethisterone can safely delay your period for up to 17 days, giving you plenty of time to enjoy your trip without interruption.
