A member asked:
Can you stop your menstral cycle for a day once it has started?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unusual: A period less than 3 days is unusual. Are you on birth control pills? Other medicines? One day of bleeding is not likely to be a "true" period.

Probably not: It is possible to delay or move your period using medications like birth control pills; however, it is very difficult to stop a period once it has started.
