Question : I wish to delay my period for about 2-3 days by using Primolut N as I have to go away on a holiday. My period is very regular and it actually starts right on the day I leave. So i'm just wondering is it possible for me to delay it for about 2-3 days only so I don't have to have it while I catch a plane. Also I read after I stop the medicine my period will come so i'm just wondering will my period be normal or will it be very heavy and lasts for more than 7 days? Thank you!
