Brief Answer:
Take Norethisterone pill to postpone period.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

I suggest you to take Norethisterone pill (like PRIMOLUT-N) to delay or postpone your period. It should be taken twice daily 3 days prior to period due date and continued as long as you want to delay (max 2 week). I-pill is NOT the best option.

You will get a withdrawal bleeding like period within 5- 7 days after stopping them. Kindly, procure complete prescription from your local doctor.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and take care yourself.

Regards,
Dr Soumen

Brief Answer:
No need I-pill while you take Norethisterone pill.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

You should know that while you are taking Norethisterone pill to delay period date, you are completely SAFE and there is NO chance of unwanted pregnancy through unprotected sex.

The reasons are 1) There is NO ovulation and 2) Last 7 days prior to period date are extremely SAFE.

MY SUGGESTION : There is NO need to take I-Pill additionally.

Hope, it helps to clear your doubt. Kindly, close the discussion.

All the best and good luck.

Regards,
Dr S patra
