A member asked:

Is there anything that can induce menstration? i'm going on vacation in a week and don't want to be on my period!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe not now: Because it is so close...You can manipulate your periods on birth control pills, but that would take several months. Also consider acupuncture and chinese medicine. And most importantly it is best to let the body function naturally and not manipulate it for our own desires as something screwy always happens....
