Question
I'm having a vacation next week. And I'm expecting my period this week, I want it to come early because I'm expecting an intercourse next Friday. HELP!How should I trigger my menstruation?
Hello, Jesum,
I don't know of a RELIABLE way to do what you want. Your hormones are delicately balanced. ANYTHING you do to try to change the cycle like that could easily backfire and cause all kinds of problems. I know from personal experience that trying to change the cycle like that is a real iffy proposition. The chances of success are low. What would be more likely to happen is that you could bleed now, and then AGAIN when you should be having your period.
If your period is due this week, it should be finished by the time you go on vacation, or close to it. I don't offhand see what the problem is. But regardless, we women are what we are, and the more willing we are to accept this, the happier we will be. Everyone has constraints of some kind. Life doesn't always seem fair. We just have to meet the challenges and move on.
That's about all I can tell you. Take care.

Expertise
I can help women with the consideration of their decision, and with resources, and I can share my own experiences as the mother of seven and grandmother of eleven. My approach is to show love and concern, and help women work through the issues, emotional, spiritual, practical. I also help women deal with boyfriend and family issues. I am not a doctor, but I have done extensive medical research, so I may be able to help with information. I am female. When you write, if you are or were pregnant, please tell me how far along you were or are, and if you have had an abortion, please tell me what kind. Thank you.
Experience
I have been working with women who are considering abortion for several years. I also work with women who have had abortions. Our family has also experienced adoption, so I can talk about that as well.
Education/Credentials
I am mostly self-taught. I also studied midwifery for awhile. I have spent years doing research on this topic. In fact, I have been doing research and working in this area since the early 1970's. I have been helping women online for a few years, under the guidance of a woman who was formally training in counseling.
