Hi,
I understand your query. If the periods were due today, it will not be possible to use drugs and cause periods early as it is only 3 days till 17th.
Even if you want to postpone your periods, you must start taking drugs soon as it is already the day you expect your period. Tablet meprate twice daily may be used for 4 days [till your husband comes and goes] on prescription. It may not be effective if the process of periods has already begun. So you need to take it soon.
Periods will come in the next 7 days after stopping meprate so they will come after 17th.
Hope I was able to help you. Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
I would be happy to answer any further queries.
Have a nice day.
