Hello and welcome to HCM,
Periods can be delayed with hormonal medication.
Progesterones are group of drugs which are used to delay periods.
However, before taking progesterones, a complete clinical assessment.
Thus, I suggest you to consult your gynaecologist for clinical assessment and prescription of progesterones to delay the periods.
Progesterones are taken till you want to delay periods and resumed thereafter.
Thanks and take care
