[quote]Following Q was recvd on phone. Am pasting here for other sisters' information in similar situation.

Q: I am leaving for Umrah and took some medicine(Provera 5 mg daily) from my doctor to delay my certain days of the cycle. Unfortunately it did not work &amp; I have got my period on exact dates as it happens every month. Can I use some medicine to stop it now so that I can join my family for Umrah. Our flight is tonight. F.East London

Dear sister. First of all the Provera has to be 5 mg 3x a day not once. It is difficult to stop it now but you can try the medicine that we give for heavy bleeding. (For this you must not be suffering from or have any past history of stroke or clotting disorders &amp; if you have your personal doctor/general practitioner and you can contact them, best is to pass by them as they will have the record of  your personal history, allergies etc.) Tranexamic acid(Transamine 1 gram 6 hourly) I will suggest to take it for 48 hours only and with lots of free fluids on flight as clotting can be effected while on flight.Walk up and down the plane a couple of times. Also continue Provera 3x a day untill you complete the Umrah.

However do not over do in any of these. Even then if things don't change, then just take it as Allah's will and trust that your reward will not be lost.You can still recite all your prayers and Qur'an.

[green]Best wishes and remember us in your prayers:)[/green]
