A member asked:

Is there a way my ob can tell if im going to have a period soon?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really: There are premenstrual symptoms you can describe to your ob, but other than your previous menstrual pattern and short of seeing some sort of bloody duscharge, your OB clinician cannot tell when your period is actually due.
