Have To Delay The Periods. On Medication Due To Symptoms Of Menopause. What To Do?

Hello,
I am a 43yr old taking Elleste Duet 2mg (16 white estradiol tablets and 12 estradiol/norethisterone tablets), I am in good general health and have been having regular bleeds every month.I was prescribed them due to menopausal symptoms and have been taking them with no adverse side effects for almost 1yr.
I am due to go on our 20th anniversary which would start the same day as my bleed, I would like to delay,or bring this forward so that it does not occur whilst on hols, I have never done this before.

Thank you

Hi dear user, thanks for your query.
In my opinion you can continue you estradiol/norethisterone tablets for few more days to delay your bleeding period. You should not bleed while taking your tablets.Period usually starts 2 days after stopping the tablets.
Hope this helps.
