Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

Ideally to postpone your period, you can take Norethisterone 5 milligrams, thrice a day starting three days before the expected date of your period till the time you want them to be postponed.
However, you can do so now , if an event such as the function you described comes in such a way.
As its a prescription drug, do consult your gynecologist/ GP before taking it.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks

Hello again.

Most likely , it will stop or minimize bleeding by tomorrow. NSAIDs can also reduce menstrual bleeding and can be taken alongside the primolut n, after consulting your doctor.
