A member asked:
Can you start contraceptive pills to delay your period only a couple od days before it's due?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: The hormone withdrawal mechanism has already begun at that point and the pill isn't a high enough dose to necessarily stop the process only 2 days from the menses.
