Brief Answer:
There are many ways of delaying periods

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX I see that you want to delay your menstrual cycle. There are natural and medical ways of doing this. let me take you through them.


Natural:

1) Exercise more. Increase the amount of physical activity you engage in as much as you can safely manage, starting two to four weeks prior to the time of your next expected period.

2) Avoid spicy foods. While there is little to no scientific evidence to back the claim, many cultures believe that consuming spicy foods can advance your menstrual cycle, causing your period to come earlier. If you want to delay your period, then, you would need to completely cut out all spices from your diet for several weeks prior to your usual time of menstruation.

3) Try taking shepherd's purse and yarrow tinctures. Shepherd's purse and yarrow are herbs that are dried, ground, and turned into a fluid extract. This extract or tincture can usually be found in health food stores or online.

4) Consume more gram lentils. For a full week prior to the onset of your period, consume fried gram lentil soup with warm water on a daily basis.

Medical:

1) Take regular doses of ibuprofen and vitamin B6. For a week or two before your period, take 800 mg of ibuprofen every 8 hours and a double dose of B6 vitamins daily.

- Note that 800 mg of ibuprofen is considered a prescription dose. It is not healthy to resort to this long-term, but with your doctor's approval, you can do so short-term without much risk of harm.

- Similarly, you should not continue your double dose of B6 vitamins after you manage to delay your period for one cycle.

2) Use standard birth control pills. While different birth control prescriptions each work a little differently, most standard birth control incorporates a period of placebo pills. The delay your period, skip the placebo pills and begin taking the “active” pills immediately

- Note that the above method applies to the "every day" (ED) pill. This is the most common type of birth control used.

- You can use a similar tactic if you are on a monophasic 21-day pill. With these pills, you usually take a pill for 21 days, followed by 7 days without any pill. To delay your period, skip this 7-day period and break into a new 21-day packet immediately after finishing your previous packet.

- Note that you may not be able to alter the dosage of phasic 21-day pills or progestogen-only pills.

3) Inquire about birth control pills designed to lengthen periods. These prescriptions are referred to as "extended-cycle" or "continuous" birth control pills and are specifically designed to delay or halt your menstrual cycle.

Usually, your doctor will only resort to prescribing these if you have a medical condition that makes menstruation dangerous or severely painful.

4) Ask your doctor for a norethisterone prescription. This drug is usually used to ease the symptoms of irregular or abnormally painful menstruation but can delay your period, as well. This pill contains synthesized progesterone.

I hope this helps. Take Care
