Brief Answer: it can be done with daily pills of progestin Detailed Answer: Hi XXXX' Welcome to healthcare Magic! It is possible to postpone periods by taking pills containing progesterone hormone orally daily till you want to postpone periods. Periods can be postponed upto two weeks. You need to take the pill daily. If you have history of diabetes, hypertension, abnormal blood clotting then you must get checked by a physician before taking the pill. I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you. Take Care!

Brief Answer: safe for nursing mother and baby Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX .... Welcome back. Just forgot to mention that the medicine in pill Is very minuscule dose and can be taken by nursing mothers. Anyways your child is old enough to be fully weaned, start him on sufficient oral diet and rapidly wean off from breastfeeding. I hope the advice will be helpful for you.
