Today is first day of my period but i have very very important pooja day after tomorrow so i should stop period..i heard using ibuprofen thrice daily?

Not ibuprofen: There is no safe and effective way t o just stop a period. Taking ibuprofen will not work and in fact could make you bleed more freely.
