Question
hi Norman can you take a needle to stop your period?
and why do females get so tired when they are on  their periods?

Answer
I'm not sure what you mean by a needle.  There is the depo provera shot for birth control which will usually stop your periods after 6 months or so.
I don't know why females get so tired when they're on their periods.  Many don't.  It probably has something to do with the hormonal changes.
