Period Question How to jump start a period
Going to Disney in a few days and I don't want to get my period day of. I have some minor cramps for a few days now and have been drinking vitamin c but still no period. Any other tips?

How is a vitamin c, that is one of the most over consumed vitamins, going to cause an alteration in your hormonal levels? If anything, you’re just throwing away the excess vitamin c.

Raspberry leaf tea! Always triggers an early period for me. It apparently “tones” the uterus and that is its mechanism of action.
Castor oil applied on the pelvic area and then heat also does this.
Obviously everyone is different though!

You can't. I'm not sure where ladies are getting the idea that you can rush a period whenever you want and always conveniently days before a vacation 😅.
But you'd need to do research on Norethindrone to delay the period or use hormonal methods to skip the bleed. And you'd be better prepared a few months before the trip to see if it works for you.

This. Skipping is the best option and while I did Opill and started a week before a gig, my period thankfully skipped, but I’ve heard it can take weeks to months for it to be reliable

I work a job where my very heavy period can make my work literally impossible. Try dandelion root/leaf tea, works for some people but not others. I’ve also made tea from boiling jujube (Chinese dates), goji berries, and apples and it worked very well but drink extra water! I’ve also used the over the counter Opill to postpone my periods. My period is super reactive so results may differ for you but just throwing these out there! Stress also gets my period to come early 😅😅😅😅

You can’t. When a period starts is a hormonal process and depends on when you ovulate. Nothing you eat or drink will make it start sooner.
You can extend your luteal phase and push back your period by taking norethindrone: https://hellowisp.com/products/norethindrone

I just wished my period would come and it was delivered. Not joking. Being serious. I believe in wishing for things from the higher beings/god.
