A member asked:

I'm late on my period about 5 days and i would like to know how to make my period start asap i've already tried herbal teas and they haven't help yet?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Do a pregnancy test: If negative, relax and see if it comes. If it does not come by next month see your doctor. Teas and other foods or drinks will not start your period.
