Hello Phuc It’s great to hear that your health is stable and your periods are regular. If you’re looking to adjust your menstrual cycle for your beach trip, there are a few options, but it’s important to approach this carefully.
Options to Consider 1. Hormonal Birth Control: If you’re on hormonal contraceptives, you can often skip the placebo pills or adjust the timing with your doctor’s guidance. 2. Medications: Some doctors may prescribe medications like norethisterone to delay your period. This should be done under medical supervision. 3. Natural Methods: While not scientifically proven, some people try lifestyle changes, like diet or exercise, to influence their cycle, but results can vary.
Rx- norethisterone tablets - once a day till date you want to extend your periods
Thank you

You can indeed use birth control pills to alter the timing of your menstrual cycle, though you’ll want to proceed with caution and make sure it’s medically appropriate for you. For someone with regular periods and stable health, a common method is to use a combined oral contraceptive pill. If you’re not already on birth control, starting a combined oral contraceptive approximately one cycle in advance can give you control over the timing. Typically, you continue with the active pills and skip the placebo week to delay your period. Alternatively, if you’re already using this form of contraception, you can simply extend the active pills for 2-3 days beyond your usual schedule—and then resume your placebo or pill-free interval when you reach the preferred timing. However, it’s realy important to have a conversation with your healthcare provider before making any changes since they can address personal factors like your medical history and specific health needs and suggest the most suitable pill for you. If using hormonal contraception is a new step for you, your doctor can guide you through potential side effects and help monitor its impact on your health. If there are any concerns with side effects or unexpected changes in your cycle, seeking medical input promptly is advised. As always, prioritizing safety and ensuring method suitability before implementing any changes is the best approach.
Since you’re 17 with regular cycles, the safest and most reliable way to shift your period by 2–3 days is short-term hormonal tablets (like norethisterone), which must be prescribed by a gynecologist and started a few days before your expected period. Do not try home remedies or unsupervised hormone pills, as they can cause breakthrough bleeding or cycle disturbance, especially at your age. Please consult a gynecologist at least 7–10 days before January 25 to choose the safest option and timing for you.
