    take primolut N 4 days before the due date one tablet three time a day, u can postpone ur period up to 14 days, and period will start 3 days after stopping the tablet.

    It is safe for ur future pregnancy

    u have to take three tablets a day, and stop when ur function is over.

    1) If you're not already using a hormonal birth control method, like the Pill: Your physician can give you a higher dose (higher vs. the dose found in a birth control pill) progestin (one of the hormones in the Pill) pill.

    2) If you're using a monophasic (all active pills in the pack have the same amount of hormones) combination Pill brand: Take the 21 active pills (these are the pills that contain hormones, and they're all the same color), and discard the 7 placebo pills (the pills without hormones, or "sugar" pills; the placebo pills are also one color, a different color than the active pills.) Start a new pack right away. Once you're done with the 21 active pills from the new pack, if you want to have a [fake] period, take the 7 placebo pills. If you still want to skip the [fake] period, discard the 7 placebo pills, and start new pack.

    3) If you're using a triphasic brand (usually, four different-colored groups of pills, 7 pills in each group), it's a bit more complicated. Why? Because it depends on the brand you're using and the amount of estrogen/progestin in each group of pills. Let's use a common brand, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, as an example. This brand has 7 white pills, 7 light blue, 7 blue pills (all 21 are active pills), and 7 green pills (placebo pills). For best results (to minimize breakthrough bleeding and spotting): Start a pack the normal way, take the 21 active pills, and discard the 7 green ones. Start a new pack backwards: instead of first taking 7 white pills, take the 7 blue pills, then the 7 light blue ones, and finally, the 7 white ones. Then, if you want a [fake] period, take the seven green pills. If you still want to skip, discard the 7 green pills, and start a new pack the usual way, by taking 7 white pills. Bottom line: make sure you take at least 2 consecutive weeks of same-color pills.

    Two more things you should keep in mind: 2) and 3) work best in the long run (start regimen at least 3 months in advance of time you want to skip period), and spotting is more common during the first 3 months of use.

    If you'd like more info, this book should help: "Take Control of Your Period" by D. Kroi. Also your ob/gyn can go into more details.

    More input from FAQ Farmers:

    If you are on the pill you can skip the last week of your pack. This will stop you from having your period all together. But don't do this all the time. It will probably work if you are on the patch too. Just don't go a free week. Put on the week one patch instead. If you aren't on the pill, I am not aware of anything that will delay your period. Call your doctor and ask them. They may be able to help you. Hope this helps.

    I accidently discovered a tea once that stopped my period in it's tracks. I was sick soIi collected a bunch of herbs that I thought would help. I don't know if it works all the time- I've only had it the one time. But here are the ingrediants in order of how much you put in (from most to least): mint, sage, marajoran, cinnomen and ginger. i think that's all that went into it. Anyway, it also does a really good job clearing the sinuses and throat, so good luck to you.

    My mother told me that sucking a lemon can stop your period.

    I kept finding conflicting answers for people skipping periods on triphasic pills. I discovered the sure-fire way to skip periods on triphasic pills is to put yourself on a biphasic cycle. So once you decidce you want to skip your period, take the pills to the last day of the second week (or the 14th day) and then start up again with the 1st day's pill. Your period will not come as long as you do this. Of course, don't do it for more than 3 months, yehdeh yehdeh. Also, when you dont want to skip anymore, finish the pack as normal and take a provera for good measure. All will be well after that. Good luck. VC

    I have been told that girls that do a lot of exercise don't get their period for a long time. A friend of mine stopped exercising and got her period that week after not having it for months. I hope this helps, Good Luck.

    There is a birth control pill to delay your period, that you need only take for a few weeks. Exercise and stress/worrying also will.

    I took vitamin B12 on the second day of my period, thinking that it would relieve pms symptoms. But it stopped by period, not completely, but down to just a little bit of spotting. There was some 16,000% of Vitamin b12. I don't recommend it, its a very weird and i dont know when i'll get my period next.

    ovral-L is the right name. But this is given to prevent pregnancy. If you take this you may induce the periods and you may have it before time.
