Brief Answer:
Postpone your period.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
As you had date yesterday, now postponement is a better option.
But as drug should be start 4-5 days before expected period date to postpone period,either it is effective or not it is difficult to say.
But for now it is the only option.
So consult a Gynecologist and take progesterone to postpone menses.
Because it is a prescription drug.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
Regards
