About Woman's Health
If you want to be period-free for a big event or holiday we can prescribe tablets. The tablets contain a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone. Periods are triggered every month by a drop in progesterone levels. By keeping your hormone level high, you can delay your period for up to 17 days. If treatment is appropriate for you, we can prescribe tablets with no need for an appointment.
