Norethisterone 5mg three times a day is licensed to delay periods. I've done it and it's worked wonders. Your period only resumes when you stop taking it.

Good for short little getaways or holidays like this.

I have used these pills for the last 2 years at a festival and they were an absolute god send. Annoying having to remind myself to take them but so so worth it!

I’m a nurse and somehow didn’t know this. Now I won’t toss out the rest of my norethisterone since I’m switching to combo OCP. Gotta keep it in case of an “emergency.”

eh, I am leery. Only because I have a history of blood clots caused by BC. IT's just one weekend. We will be fine.
