Brief Answer:
Wait for 2-3 days.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

I suggest you to take Norethisterone pill to delay or postpone your period if you want to AVOID period during travel in coming Sunday.

At first, you should await 2-3 days to get period naturally and hopefully, your period will be completed before schedule traveling.

If you DON'T get your period after 3 days waiting, you should start taking the pill twice daily and continue as long as you want to delay (max 2 weeks).

You will get a withdrawal bleeding like period within 5-7 days after stopping them. Kindly, procure complete prescription from your local doctor.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and take care yourself.

Regards,
Dr S Patra

Brief Answer:
No medicines to start period quickly or today

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for follow up query.

1) There is NO such medication or method to get period quickly or today. You have to understand this fact clearly. You can't predict the exact time of period bleeding even after using of medication.

2) It is better to follow my previous advice and you will get effective result in due time. Don't be stressed yourself or panic.

3) While you will take NORETHISTERONE pill to postpone period, you CAN'T be pregnant due to ABSENCE of ovulation. So, don't be worried regarding this.

4) Hormonal imbalance and mental stress are KEY factors of delayed period. You should AVOID stress as much as possible by meditation.

You can follow this home remedies to get period naturally:

a) Eating papaya, pineapple or other heat inducing foods like meat, hot milk.

b) Drink fennel seed soaked boiled water several times in a day.

c) Use hot water bottle around abdomen/ back region or take hot shower bath.

d) Celery juice, Ginger tea and vitamin -C supplements are also useful.

e) Avoid Salty/ Fatty foods and mental stress. Maintain genital hygiene.

Hope, I have answered your queries. Kindly, close the discussion.

All the best and good luck.

Regards,
Dr S Patra
