Are there any natural ways to delay a period?

It depends what you mean by “natural.” There are a few things, like stress or a significant changes in exercise habits, that can cause your period schedule to be thrown off, but there is nothing that you can do on your own that will reliably postpone your period. However, hormonal birth control is a safe way to control when and where you get your period. If this is something you would consider, chat with your medical provider!
