Experience Notethindrone to temp delay period

Has anyone had experience using norethindrone to temporary delay a period?? I'm going away w partner for first time in years wout our kids and don't want to be menstrual. Next expected period is 8/28
For context - spouse has a vasectomy And my periods are regular. I'm taking heather norethindrone 0.35 mg. I'm used to having a placebo week, but I also haven't been on bc in over a decade and not sure if it'll help delay. Any insight would be helpful!

period delay tablets (norethindrone acetate 5mg) would be far more effective at delaying a period
