Hello, Nicole! How are you?

Yes, many women do that to control when they will get their periods, because sometimes they may be due to arrive at a very inconvenient time, such as during a long awaited vacation.

Please check with your doctor first, but as long as they clear it, then there shouldn't be any problems with it.

Is there anything else I can help with?
