Delaying my period

I'm getting married this month, and I will unfortunately am supposed to get my period during my honeymoon... My doctor prescribed me Prometrium (Progesterone) and told me to take it for 2 weeks to delay me period. I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this and if it's worked? Or if anyone has a better method for delaying their period? Thank you :)

I have used my birth control pills before to change the arrival of my period. Generally, I'll take an extra week of pills or stop a week early. Thankfully, I've had enough notice for "events" that I was able to do it a month or so beforehand. You shouldn't have any problems. :) Good luck!
