A member asked:

How can i start my period early so that i don't have to worry about it when i travel?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not possible: You cant make your period come when you like. It is regulated by your hormones. It is however possible to delay your period. I would recommend that you take birth control pills that can delay your period until you are done travelling. Best Wishes Dr M
