My family and I are going on vacation in August, and I know I'll be getting my period on vacation. For the past 3 years, I've gotten my period on vacation, although my cycle has changed from beginning to middle to end of the month. I just always seem to get my period when we go on vacation, and every year we go to the beach. I was wondering if there is any possible way to either delay your period or make it come earlier. A friend of mine said there's a pill I can take, but I'm not sure. I know how to use tampons [I'm a competitive swimmer] but I hate feeling bloated wearing my swimsuit, or feeling cranky. I'll also be the only girl there under 40, with my two brothers and three boy cousins, so it's really awkward. I was hoping there's some way to "fix" the situation. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
Answer:
nope..it comes naturally..
unless you take birth control..
i think thats the only way
If you go on the pill you can run a packet together so you take it for 6 weeks and thus miss your period
I think it is too soon to try to take anything to trick your body into not giving you a period during vacation. Starting birth control means that it takes a few months till your cycle is regulated, so you could end up having it anyway. Even if you start the pill and skip the placebo week (which I have tried and do NOT recommend, as it takes forever to get your cycle back to normal and you never know when you'll menstruate!) it might not stop your period from coming.
Talk to your doctor about it, see what they say could help you with your predicament. Whatever they say, do NOT get on depo provera (Pfizer has class action lawsuits against them for what that shot does to women!)!!
My advice would be to use tampons and try Pamprin or Midol.
The only only thing you can do is be on birth control. You just skip the nonactive pills and keep taking the actives. But if you are still in your first 3 packs...you may have breakthrough bleeding anyway. sorry I wish there was another way
Sorry hun there is no way to delay your period or make it come earlier... there is a new birth control pill out that the user only gets 4 periods a year and there is another one that is brand new and got approval from the FDA just recently where the user will have no periods kind of like the shot...you may want to go to you obgyn and talk to her about those options and decide to switch pills or if you are not on one get on one. The pill also lessens breakouts and cramping that may be something you can check in to.
If you are on birth control pills anyway just skip the 7day ones that you would normally take when you are on your period,and go straight to the next months supply instead...Other than that ,see your gynecologist before trying anything else..They will have better and safer answers...Have a great time on your Vacation..Be Safe..

Help! I'm going through menopause~I can't sleep~can you help??
I'm 48 years old - I've had hot flashes for the past 2 years - they seemed to have slowed down (less frequent) - but for the last 2 years I haven't been able to get a good nights sleep. I usually have to wait until I'm REAL tired by either reading a book or surfing the web-then I'll go to sleep but I always wake up after about 3 hours and a lot of times can't go back to sleep for another hour or two or three. Can anyone suggest anything besides sleeping pills? Thanks.
Answer:
Have you undergone medical tests to see if all is well with you? Are you stressed? Do you have marital, financial or other problems that interfere with your sleep? These are the questions any doctor should ask you. I can advise you to try and go to bed every night at the same time, force your body into some kind of a routine. It might take awhile for your body to adjust to a regime but it will. Also I can advise you to try some herbal drops called "Rescue Remedy". They are made of flowers and help me to fall asleep when I have troubles getting to sleep. The drops are not addictive and do not cause any harm.
There are a lot of other recommendations how to induce sleep, like a warm bath or shower, hot drink etc. I am sure you tried it all.
I took lavender baths and they helped some.Some of the stuff they sell like st.johns wort and black cohash helps a little bit.Unfortunately They didn't work for me and I needed the sleeping pills.
Menopause is a stage in life when a woman stops having her monthly period.It is a normal part of aging, marking the end of a woman's reproductive years.Get enough calcium. A woman going through menopause needs 1000 mg to 1500 mg of calcium a day. Avoid excessive amounts of salt to reduce bloating associated with hormonal changes.

Help! I'm broody and hating it!?
I've been really broody lately. I just can't get the idea of having a baby out of my head. My husband doesn't really take me seriously and we can't really afford for me to stop working. What can I do?
Answer:
Make him take you seriously!! Have a chat with him and tell him your plans for the future. Find out how long he wants to wait before he has kids, if you have a date you can aim for it gives you something to look forward to when you are feeling broody!!
Borrow my 3yr old for the day if you want, she will soon put you off, in fact, you can have my 3 teenage sons and all:))
Good package deal or what!
So u are looking forward too sleepless nights,dirty nappies,no social life,bouts of crying,fitting in the house work.
Do i need to go on?
I'm feeling kind of stupid right now, I had to go to dictionary.com to find out what the word broody meant. LOL. OK now getting serious, you're probably thinking about it because you feel like you are really ready to have a baby. Find a way to talk to your husband and see if he is ready as well, because if he's not that might be why he is avoiding discussing the topic with you. If financial problems is what is holding him back from wanting to have a baby, then the two of you should discuss what needs to happen before he'd feel comfortable with the idea. Another thing, if you were to decide to have a baby now, you don't have to stop working. I know that a lot of women want to stop working to raise the children because they're afraid of what will happen to the children if they don't but a lot of women either don't stop working or are like you can't stop working and the children turn out fine.
I hope that you start feeling better soon and that the two of you can come to terms with something that will make the both of you happy.
Having a baby should never be about money, it's more about having fufillment in your life. A child is also a lot of responsibility, and costly, both emotionally and physically, all those sleepless nights! Children come with no guidelines nor instructions, they will be life changing.
If your broody,feel unloved, unneeded, check what else is missing in your life and relationship. Sorry but you say that your husband does not take you seriously, is it that you are both still quite young? You should question his view of "you" does he see you as an equal who is a responsible, capable adult? If he is not as keen as you, you also have to question will he ever want a child?
Oh and never bring a child into a relationship that is not working, having a baby will not solve anything.
i am the same, so i can truly sympothise with you (((hugs)))
if having another baby is out of the option, and if it is just the feeling of wanting to be pregnant, you want, then why not do the likes of surrogacy? (sorry if you are against the idea)
it is a horrible way to feel though, best thing to do is just to try and get on with life (which is sooo much easier than done) and just enjoy life xxx

Help! I need help!?
I need some help. I don't know what to look for when searching for a good gynecologist. I'm in the San Jose area and MD's around here can be pretty shady lol. I just need to know what to look for. Thanks!
Answer:
Just make sure they're state licensed. Make sure they are a gyno. instead of just an MD - they have to get more schooling and licenses to practice. Esp.ly when it comes to preg. women.
make sure board certified in gynecology
Searching for a gynecologist can be worrisome. I would check with co-workers or friends that live in the area. You can also go under the state board of health web site for your state and search the physician's credentials. Some state websites have police records, etc. if they apply to a physician. That would be a good place to start.
Good luck.
Ask some female friends who they use and are they happy. That is how i found mine

HELP! I have horrible stomach pains, not pregnant. what is it?
Ok i have had these unconfortable stomach pains for over a month maybe 2 months. I am not pregnant, i just feel grossed out by food cant smell some of it or eat some of it because i feel nauceous. I feel like i have a knot in my stomach and also some bladder problem i go to the bathroom a lot more than i used to. What is this?
Please, SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY!!
Answer:
You could have irritable bowel syndrome. It's common. It just means you get cramps and diarrhea, and the pressure causes you to urinate more. There are medicines the doctor can prescribe for it. Good luck!
could be a bladder infection, go to the doctor.
Maybe a bladder infection? I would suggest going to the doctor.
I personnaly would see a Dr.
It sounds like you may have a kidney infection, which can cause nausea and loss of appetite. Please see a doctor as soon as possible. Nobody can really diagnose you over the internet.
Going to the Bathroom alot more could be from a urinary tract infection. however, the only other thing i could tell you about the stomach pains and not wanting to eat, if ur not prego, is maybe u have a hangover, lol. sorry darlin', wish i could help you more.

Help! I have been sick since Feb.?
I have had unexplained pain throughout my whole body. I am on pain medications, but they dont really seem to be helping. Also, I have been extreimly fatigued. The pain has kept me from attending school since February 25th.Im only 14 years old and am in great physicall shape. Before becoming ill I had not missed a day of school. Both my parents are doctors and have taken me to almost every specialtist. If you have any ideas about what could be wrong or know something about a similar condition please help me. Thanks
Answer:
You might ask your dr. or in your case your parents about "Rebound Pain". I had severe headaches for over a month and when my Dr. realized what was going on he "detoxed" me off of the pain meds (not fun!) and the pain went away. He said sometimes the pain med can actually cause more pain. Strange isn't it? I had never heard of this but I'm so glad my dr. finally figured it out. So it might be worth asking about. Anyway, I hope you feel better soon.
Once my teacher had that where she was sick a very long time. I remember her doctor gave her a bunch of medication and told her to use her inhailer more. But thats all I know. I would try drinking "Airborn". It is a thing that disolves in water (hot ot cold) that you drink and it boosts your immune system so you dont get sick.
Lupus, MS, Fiberomyalgia, , its most likely one of those auto immune diseases where your body attacks itself, also could be the deadly form of arthritus. if they dont know what it is i doubt anyone will know.
