A member asked:

My period is due in 7 days and i would like to delay it. can i start bc, progesterone, brevicon, (ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone) depo shot? i am not currently on any bc

Nothing effective: Assuming you are correct in your timing, the only thing that will delay your period is pregnancy. That is clearly not the solution you are looking for. For future reference, you would need to start the pill, ideally, 2 months ahead of time and at least at the beginning of your cycle.
