A member asked:

How do you stop or slow down menstrual bleeding before sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not possible: It's not possible to stop or slow your period if you're already on it and want to have sex today. Birth control options can make periods generally lighter, but you can't start them and expect an immediate response.
