To delay periods
My sister's wedding is on June 7th. Based on my period
tracking app, my next period is likely between June 6-8. My
cycle is usually 29-30 days, and periods last 3 days, maximum
5 days. My last period started on May 7th, 2026. I have never taken medication to delay/advance periods before.
During periods I get stomach cramps for 1-2 days. On workdays I take Meftal Spas for pain relief.
Colleagues suggested some medicines to delay/advance my period for the wedding date. l am unsure about the safety, side effects, and exact medicine names
I also occasionally experience low blood pressure
Could you please advise if it is safe for me to take medication to shift my period, what the medicine names are, and what prior use of such medication?
options would be suitable given my history of low BP , Thank you.
