FAQs
Frequently asked questions
You will answer a few questions about your cycle, your plans, and your health, then discuss what is suitable for you and what to expect next.
It is best to plan ahead where possible, as timing depends on where you are in your cycle and when you want the delay to start.
Have an idea of your last period dates if you can, plus a list of medicines you take, any allergies, and any past reactions to hormonal treatments.
Not always, as it depends on your medical history, current symptoms, and any medicines you take; the assessment is designed to check this carefully.
You will be given clear next steps on what to do and when to start, plus practical guidance on what changes are normal and when to seek further advice.
Bleeding can be a little earlier, later, heavier, or lighter than usual for some people, and you can discuss what to expect for your situation during the appointment.
