Brief Answer:
its too late to start regesterone for postponement

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
No, once the menses have started regesterone will not be able to stop it now, it would however reduce some bleeding but will not be able to stop it completely, you may experience continued spotting even then.
So it is suggested that you should go ahead with your menses. Its actually late for such decision to be taken now.
