Possible treatments following consultation

You can view factual treatment options and prices for Period Delay below without an account. No medicine is guaranteed: a prescriber will assess your answers and decide with you what is safe and suitable.

Sometimes you may wish to delay your period for a holiday, an event or another important occasion. GetMyMeds offers period delay treatments that can help postpone menstruation when taken as directed. These are reviewed by a clinician to make sure they are right for you.

How It Works

  1. Complete an online consultation about your cycle and medical history.
  2. A clinician reviews your information to confirm the treatment is suitable and safe for you.
  3. If approved, your treatment is sent out discreetly so you have it ready ahead of time.

Who Is It For

Period delay tablets may suit people with a regular, predictable cycle who want to postpone a period for a specific reason. They are usually started a few days before your period is due and taken until you are ready for it to begin. They are not a method of contraception. If you are using hormonal contraception already, there may be alternative ways to delay bleeding, which your clinician can discuss with you.

FAQ

When do I start taking period delay tablets? They are typically begun a few days before your period is expected. Your consultation will explain exactly when to start and stop based on the date you want to be covered.

Will my period return to normal afterwards? In most cases your period arrives within a few days of stopping the tablets, and your cycle then returns to its usual pattern.

Are there any side effects? Some people notice mild effects such as bloating, breast tenderness or mood changes. These are usually temporary. If you have certain medical conditions this treatment may not be suitable, which is why a clinician reviews your request.
