How Do I Delay The Periods Having Diabetes And Taking Valsartan?

Hi, I had my last period march 21 and I am regular with 28 -29 day cycle. I am planning a scuba diving trip in May and my period will be due the second day there. What can I do to delay it for a week? I am 49 years old and obese. I do not have diabetes but take a low dose of valsartan for blood pressure. I am worried about taking anything while out of the country.

Diabetologist 's  Response
Hi, I had gone through you query and understood your concerns.

To delay your period, Norethinosterone 5mg. one tablet should be taken three times a day.
You should start to take the tablets three days prior to the expected start of your period and keep taking it until you wish your period to resume.
A normal period will occur 2-3 days after you stop taking the tablets.
Hope this guides you. Thank you
