Evaluation | Shift your period without the pill

Evaluation

The focus of this article is on the question of whether you can postpone your period without the pill. The answer to this question is clearly yes, but is this sensible and safe? Postponing your period can be useful, especially if you have irregular menstrual cycles, painful menstruation or other menstrual disorders.

In this case, treatment with a progestin preparation is medically justified and sensible. Postponing the period for personal reasons is also possible with the aid of the contraceptive ring and cannot be rejected per se. Side effects are rather rare and usually mild in nature.

Nevertheless, at best you should consult a gynaecologist with the intention of postponing your period and determine the best option together. In this way the risk of application errors and undesirable effects can be minimized.
