Is Our Period Delay Service Right for You?
Determining Your Clinical Suitability
Ideal Candidates
Women with regular natural cycles who are looking to safely postpone their period for a special event, holiday, or personal milestone. You can easily book today or visit our Edinburgh Travel Clinic.
Alternative Pathways
If you are already taking certain types of hormonal contraception (such as the combined oral contraceptive pill), you may not need traditional period delay tablets—our prescribers can advise you on how to safely manipulate your existing pill packet instead.
When to Seek Alternatives
This service is generally not suitable for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a history of blood clots (thromboembolism), liver disease, or unexplained vaginal bleeding. In these instances, we will guide you toward a face-to-face evaluation with your GP or a specialist.
Who is NOT eligible
Our service is not suitable for patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or require specialist medical supervision for complex conditions. Not sure about your BMI? Use the NHS BMI Calculator to check your baseline.
Patient Guidelines
Preparing for Your Appointment
- Timing is Key: For the best results, we recommend submitting your request at least 3 to 5 days before your period is due. This ensures our clinical team has adequate time to review your health questionnaire thoroughly.
- Comprehensive Assessment: This service is designed for generally healthy individuals. We screen for underlying health conditions to ensure the prescribed medication is entirely safe for you.
- Contraceptive Alignment: If you are already using hormonal contraception, your pathway may differ. Our team provides expert, tailored advice to ensure your routine remains uninterrupted and safe.

FAQ
Patient Information
Our trusted clinic near me / travel clinic near me is centrally positioned to serve patients across the region with total privacy and efficiency.
No. Short-term period-delay medication (such as Norethisterone) temporarily delays the shedding of the womb lining and has no long-term impact on your natural cycle or future fertility.
Some patients may experience mild side effects, such as bloating, breast tenderness, or occasional nausea, which typically resolve once the medication is stopped. Our prescribers will brief you fully during your consultation.
To maximise your privacy and fit your busy schedule, our assessments are conducted entirely online through our secure clinical questionnaire, with direct follow-up from our prescribers if required
