Question 2

ways to force period early so i won't have it for my honeymoon?

Accepted Answer

Oral contraceptives: If you are on oral contraceptives now then it could be possible if there is enough time between now and the wedding.

Question 3

are menstrual cycles induce-able? if so, what are some possible ways to "force" or jump start a period?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Whether you can induce a period depends on where you are in your cycle and what if anything you are using for contraception. If you are using pills, patches, or rings, you can just stop them early and a period should start. If your period is late and you aren't pregnant or menopausal, your period should start after a course of progestins. Hope this helps.

Question 4

since lo loestrin fe can make you not have any periods, and some people call it "lucky" what if you want your period to come to make sure your "working" fine....is there any ways to induce a period (force it to come)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: But you may need to switch to a higher dose pill.  Periods are artificial on the birth control pill and tell you nothing about how well you are "working". Many women find no periods on the pill stressful but it is not abnormal and there is absolutely nothing wrong with you.

Question 6

can you tell me how i could force my period to start?

Accepted Answer

You cannot: A GYN MD can sometimes, after examination and a negative pregnancy test, offer medication to "jump start" your period. if it is delayed. However, you cannot force a period to start on your own.

Question 7

what medication do i need to take to force my period to come? i am two weeks late.

Accepted Answer

Take a pregnancy: test now.  If negative, take another one in 1 week.   You may likely be pregnant given how long you have been late, but if you are on some contraception method, then it could be regulating your cycle as well.  Late periods can be a natural fluctuation in your hormonal cycle, which can be affected by many different factors.  Thanks for trusting  in HealthTap.

Question 10

i havent had a real period for about a year now. i contacted my local gyno and they put me on some kind of medicine to force me to have a period, this was back in january. it worked but i still havent had a period since. whats wrong?

Accepted Answer

: Irregular menstrual periods are common. The fluctuations of estrogen and progesterone can be easily affected by stress, weight gain/loss, exercise, lack of sleep, thyroid problems, and uterine/ovarian issues. Since you responded appropriately to the Progesterone challenge and are able to menstruate, you might want to consider starting hormonal supplementation. Talk to your Gyn Dr.
