Brief Answer:
Not possible to stop when it already started!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this prolonged menstrual bleeding. Unfortunately, once menses start, there is no way to stop. We have medications to postpone all together but not stopping once it starts because it is a cascade of events without possible interferences. 7days is a lot and this should stop anytime from now unless there is something else wrong. When is your Holiday coming up if I may ask? When you are next planning a holiday, please let us know so that we can act before it gets this late with us out of options.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
