Brief Answer:
No. It will not help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Centchroman tablets cannot delay the period by a week if started just before the due date of the periods. You will have to use synthetic progesterone preparations like meprate for this. Do consult your gynecologist and get it prescribed.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
