I'm 17 and in need of advice on Norethisterone, the period delaying drug -_-
I am very concerned about having my period within the next week. I am 17 and living in the USA. I'm visiting my boyfriend next friday and we wanted to...you know...but I think I may have my period sometime that week and I really need to delay it! I heard about this drug Norethisterone, that an OB/GYN can prescribe, and it can potentially delay your period. I am seeing an OB/GYN for the first time tomorrow and I wanted to ask her if she could prescribe me Norethisterone, but what should I say? And what is the likelihood she will prescribe me this medicine, considering my age? Also: It is completely legal in my state to have sex at 17 with another 17 year old, the age of consent here is 16. Please answer this for me, I am completely anxious right now! :(
Thank you so much for getting back to me! As it turns out, my OBGYN appointment was rescheduled to an EARLIER date, and I have been put on the trisprintec tablet, with everything looking fine so far health-wise. My date with my boyfriend went without incident, and the norethisterone was not needed :) However, in the future if the case may be that I need to take something like norethisterone for a honeymoon, etc this information could really help in that decision so again thank you

Hello,
You can postpone your periods by taking norethisterone which is often used to postpone a period. The drug is to be started 3-4 days before a period is due. It can be continued for up to 2 weeks or so until you want to have a period. But it is advisable to use this drug only after a doctor’s prescription. It is not to be taken without a medical supervision.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
