Is there a way to bring my period on?

DISCLAIMER: Pregnancy is NOT a possibility here

I'm 7 days late according to my app ()

I've had a google and have come across reasons such as
recent travel and disrupting body clock - check
recent (deliberate) weight loss - check
increase in exercise regime - check
change of eating habits - check if a bingey birthday weekend counts!

However now I have had a pre-period breakout, my usual "pre period hungry day" has lasted a week and I am retaining about 5lb of water. My lower abdomen feels heavy and I would just like this period to come already so it's over with!

Any tips?

eat properly? Serious calorie deficit will stop periods for evolutionary reasons. Is the weight loss drastic?

but no, nothing 'brings on' a period except various types of medication.

sex used to work for me sometimes. not sure if it was the hormones released or the physical effects but has worked for me in the past even though it might be the last thing you feel like.

Wearing white trousers is a failsafe.

Try eating a pineapple, I don't know why, but it used to work for me

ouryve wearing white trousers

Wear white trousers and go out without any tampons in your bag.

No. Your day of ovulation is the one that varies (so ovulation can be delayed by stress etc). Then it's a set time between ovulating and your period, whatever is normal for you. So you can't 'bring it on', sorry.

Ahhh yes that makes sense Biscuit - stupid moment right there! I do find it strange that all the symptoms (bloating, spots etc) come at the normal time though.

Special - nope not drastic but I finally got under the weight intend to plateu at so thought it may be linked. I've piled a few pounds on due to this extensive pre period bloat though!

Flying always seemed to do it for me. Might be a bit expensive!

Wait until you get your clump of gunge from your cervix and have an orgasm to give the whole organ a rattle.

Sorry sounds awful, didn't quite know how to put it politely

Sorry to re-hash this thread but I'm now 23 days late. I've practically missed a whole cycle

Would anyone go to the GP, or are random irregularities just something many women go through? Would I need to have missed 2/3 periods for it be of concern?

I'm wondering if the stress of it is throwing my cycle off even further

It's very common to have irregular periods and it can have many causes. See GP if it carries on
