you can talk to your ob/gyn about the pill for this. Progesterone cream MAY (and I emphasize the MAY) help delay your period if you start it midcycle and keep on using it until you want to have a preiod. BIrth control pills are MUCH more likely to work, however -- and you need to start tehm well in advance of your vacation
