Period Delay in Manchester
Sometimes life’s biggest events don’t match your monthly cycle. Whether you’ve got a long-awaited holiday, a wedding, an exam, or another important occasion coming up, our period delay service gives you the option to postpone your period safely and discreetly.
With a private consultation and same-day supply of tablets, you can take control of your cycle without the need for a GP appointment.
What Is Period Delay?
Period delay uses prescribed medication to temporarily postpone your monthly cycle timing. This treatment allows women to avoid menstruation during important occasions such as holidays, weddings, examinations, or sporting competitions. Our service provides medically approved treatments that give you control over your menstrual schedule. Our tablets work effectively when taken correctly under professional supervision, allowing safe postponement for up to 30 days.
How Do Period Delay Tablets Work?
The tablets are formulated with man-made progesterone to manage your menstrual timing. These tablets maintain elevated hormone levels in your body, preventing the hormonal decline that triggers menstruation. Take your first tablets three days before your period should come, swallowing one tablet at three separate times daily. Your period will normally begin about three days after completing the course. Our service ensures you receive proper guidance on timing and dosage for optimal results.
Who Can Use the Period Delay Service?
Most healthy women can safely access our service. However, this treatment may not be appropriate for all women. You should avoid it if you:
- Are pregnant or suspect pregnancy.
- Are currently breastfeeding or have recently given birth.
- Have had blood clots before or are at increased risk of clotting.
- Suffer from liver tumours, breast cancer, or specific hormonal conditions.
- Use medicines that could affect how the tablets work.
Our pharmacists conduct thorough health assessments during consultations to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your circumstances. Please remember: our service does not provide contraceptive protection.

While generally well-tolerated, some women may experience mild side effects. Common reactions include:
