| Question: | I am going on a school wilderness camp for a week right at the time I am due to get my period. I have heard I can take pills to delay my period. How do I do this? |
| Answer: | You must visit your doctor to obtain advice about this, since you will need a prescription, and your doctor will be familiar with your medical history. There are hormone pills which will delay your period, or if you are already taking the birth control pill, your doctor will advise you how to alter the pill taking regime to avoid or delay your period. Ideally you should see your doctor at least two weeks before the period you wish to delay. |
