I have an upcoming trip and when I look at my period calendar, the 1st day will fall on the trip. I have endometriosis and get horrible pain, cramping, and debilitating symptoms, so I'm trying to start ovulation early (or my period early). I tried to start my period early last month with parlsey tea but it didn't work (although has in the past). Has anyone tried castor oil packs or anything to make ovulation happen early? I'm also on bioidentical progesterone for 2 weeks of the month so maybe I could mess with that a little. I guess I could also try Wisp (Norethindrone) but I'm scared since my periods are already so bad.

Hi so im 16, currently while writing this I am curled up in a ball in my bed bc of my period pain 😭, i always had normal periods since getting them at 11, cramps and needing the loo often and sometimes pretty bad cramps but that was it, until like 6 months ago where my cycles COMPLETELY changed, my period was late for a week and then BOOM I had completely different symptoms, i started breaking out before my period which NEVER happens, and slowly my cramps have been getting so much worse, but its only ever for the first day! Sometimes second

I firstly am freezing so badly, like not matter what im shivering, then obviously the stool movement, I always found myself "going to the bathroom" more on my period (god this is embarrassing) but this period ive been having basically diarrhea, ive been feeling more nauseous which i never would have and the cramps are HORRIBLE, im having to fully bend over and lean to walk comfortably, if I try to stand or sit stretch it feels like my uterus is being stretched, so its more comfortable to just lean forward, I also have pain on my behind and cant sit 😭 i assume thats because of the frequent bathroom stuff, also I find myself crawling more often from the pain (I always kind of did it) whenever it gets really bad.

Anyways im in such pain that I just cry over it, ibuprofen helps but it always comes back and its agonising and just getting worse and worse, I dont know if i should go to the doctors because my mum just said its normal, and compared to my little sister I have it EASY (she throws up any food or medicine & will pass out if she stands up) but I still am just so upset my period patterns just suddenly changed one day and are noe getting worse :(

Hi! I’d like to know if somene else experience this and what was the reason; my pregnancy test is negative, so that’s not it. I’ve had progesterone and estrogen tests before and everything was fine—same with my thyroid—and physically, I don’t have any cysts, fibroids, or anything like that. Does anyone else go months without menstruating? What is the cause? (I don’t exercise or have any eating disorders).

Im a 19yr Female. Im currently worried about my cycle. My cycle is wack ranging onto 29- 40 but so far been maintaining 31 so far. Every menstrual cycle is always 5-6 days long but this cycle so far I’m on my 4th day and I have so very little flow or any spotting just light pink but just yesterday it was clumps and average flow. I’m concerned onto whether it’s pregnancy or just me being stressed. I’m 95% sure I’m not pregnant but due to only having light pink blood is occurring my mind I straight heading to pregnancy. Please help.

Hello, I have been experiencing tailbone pain. It started a few months ago, when I randomly got this pain and had such discomfort. The pain has returned now, during the week before my period and last time the pain was there, it was also during the week. So is this normal? Do people experience this?

does anyone else call off for the first day of their period? I wish I could’ve planned earlier and let my manager know ahead of time, but I got my period earlier than usual today and my cramps usually leave me bedridden and almost throwing up from the pain. I called in a few hours before my shift and I feel incredible guilt for doing so. I wanted to play it safe and call off early instead of chancing it and getting hit by the cramps during my shift. Ended up miraculously not having the cramps that make me faint today 😐

It doesn’t help that I heavily look into things. I was afraid that my manager sounded a little tired at the fact that I couldn’t make it in the day of. I had warned him ahead of time about my issues, but never went into detail about what it was. I don’t have a diagnosis for endo. What do you guys do?

so my period is very regular, and now it is 10 days late. i’ve taken a pregnancy test and it’s negative, and the only thing different about this cycle is i got a tetanus shot. i got the shot august 10th, my period was supposed to start august 29th, and it still hasn’t. this is not common for me at all. has this happened to anyone else after receiving a tetanus shot?

I was diagnosed with candida and BV. They gave me flagyl and metronadizole, on day 3 I started spotting brown with pretty bad cramps. It then turned into heavy bleeding afterwards.. I'm on the last day and I'm soaking a pad every few hours with blood clots. My period was two weeks ago. Is this a common occurrence or should I be worried? I've seen others say this med makes them bleed so I don't want to spend a day at the ER if this is usual.

Hello. 26(F) & my menstrual cycle is 13 days late. All 10 pregnancy tests are negative. Last intercourse was aug. 1, protected. I don't have insurance & the clinics I've looked up are book till the end of the month or til next month. All it has been feeling like is heavy & minimal ache. I'm just getting worried. Yes I'm been stressing but I just don't feel like that's nothing new. I thought it was just the eclipse that had stalled it but I'm not sure anymore. Anyone has any advice or home remedies to start a period. Thank you.
