Plan ahead for the best results
Prescription hormonal tablets for period delay generally need to begin a few days before your expected period. Book at least 7–10 days early so we have time to review your suitability.
Understanding Period Delay Treatment
A period delay consultation gives you a private, judgement-free space to discuss whether postponing your period is a safe and suitable option. When prescribed, period delay tablets contain hormones that help keep the lining of the womb intact until you stop taking them.
Because timing and effectiveness vary by individual, and suitability depends on your individual health, every request is carefully assessed by our clinical team. We do not guarantee suitability or effectiveness for every person, but we do guarantee a respectful, confidential local care experience.
- Treatment is not contraception and will not prevent pregnancy.
- Your normal cycle typically resumes within a few days after stopping the tablets, though this can vary.
- Spotting or breakthrough bleeding can still happen while taking the treatment.
What our consultation covers
Your safety is our priority. During your private consultation in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, we will carefully check your suitability for period delay tablets.
Medical History & Risk Factors
We ask about your personal and family history of blood clots, history of migraines, and any planned surgery or periods of immobility, as these strongly influence if hormonal treatment is safe for you.
Current Medicines
We review all other medications you take, including prescribed treatments, over-the-counter medicines, and herbal supplements, to avoid harmful interactions.
Pregnancy & Contraception
Suitability depends on your pregnancy status. Period delay treatment is not a contraceptive, and we will discuss how this fits with your current contraceptive methods.
Important Safety Warning
Like all medications, prescribed treatment for period delay carries potential risks. Seek urgent medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms while taking the treatment, as they could be signs of a serious condition such as a blood clot:
- Chest pain or a feeling of heaviness in the chest
- Sudden breathlessness or difficulty breathing
- Painful swelling in your leg (especially one leg)
- A new, severe, or unusual headache
- Sudden changes to your vision
