Hi,

You can definitely take Regestrone to delay your periods. C-section is not a contra-indication for this. You may start taking Regestrone 5mg two times daily, 3-4 days prior to your expected date of periods. You should continue to take it till your desired date. You will get your periods 3-5 days after your last dose of Rogestrone.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Satnarain Bansal, General & Family Physician
