Started Taking Noriday. Due For Period. How To Postpone Period?
You need no special tasks in order to stop taking your pills. However, its important note a few things when you go off pills.
1. The effect will run out in a few days, and exposing oneself to unprotected sex is an at risk event and you might get pregnant. If it’s the case, other birth control methods are advised (condoms, abstinence)
2. Secondly, a few side effects, usually called withdrawal effects might be experienced. These however last only a few days. These could range from increase in appetite, mild weight loss since these hormones could cause fluid retention and some withdrawal bleeding. You must be conscious of all these you stop your pills and should raise any alarm if you experience a bleeding earlier than you might have expected. Remember that these pills are hormones, that alter a bit the normal physiologic hormonal levels, and your body will need some time to clear off these extra hormone doses, to start functioning normally. Reason why some of these effects might be noticed.
As I said, you need nothing special, but beware of few changes you might notice as you get off your pill. In case you might be away for a longer period, your period might take one or two months to come back to normal, not an issue in your case since you have not been on its for a long time. It should raise any issues to you in case next weekend, you do not experience menses as expected.
It’s usually advisable to always discuss stopping or restarting a contraceptive method with your doctor.

It's not addressing my question what so ever. When I was on cilest I know I could continue taking it in order to not have a period. Now that I'm on Noriday I want to know what I can do in order not to have a period next week as I am away and it will be very inconvient.
Please address this question or I will seek a full refund.
I am sorry I could not convince you with my explanation during our last conversation. Let me try today.
You need to continue taking Noriday as long as you do not wish to have your period. Do not stop the drug after 28 days. Continue to take the same drug until the time you do not wish to have your period.
When you wish to have your period, stop taking the drug Noriday and you will have your periods within the next 7 days.
Simple way to say it – Continue to take the Noriday every day until the day you feel convenient to have your periods. Then you may stop the drug and you will have your periods in the next 7 days.
Hope I am clear now.
