Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for sharing your health concern with us.

I have gone through your query and would like to offer some information.

If you wish to have an early period, the hormone medication should be taken earlier in the cycle. As your next period is expected in 3-4 days, you can use medication to postpone the cycle.

Also, the duration of flow cannot be regulated by this medication. To control, you have to take another course of hormones after the onset of the period along with styptics.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

regards,
Shanti.V.
