A synthetic form of the hormone progesterone is used in period delay tablets. Progestogens are hormones that keep the uterine (uterus) lining healthy. The amount of progestogen hormone in the body usually decreases in the days leading up to a period. Using the synthetic hormone to keep your progesterone levels high will cause your menstruation to be delayed. Your period will start again in 2-3 days after you stop taking the medications.

Each and every menstrual cycle vary depending on the person. However, periods occur on average every 28 days. Regular cycles shorter or longer than the average, i.e., 21 to 40 days are also normal. The levels of the female hormone oestrogen typically begin to rise during the first half of the menstrual cycle. The oestrogen thickens the uterine lining prior to conception.
The middle of your menstrual cycle occurs 10 to 16 days after your period. The ovaries release eggs during the ovulation process. Women are most fertile during this period.
