Try increasing your intake of calcium. Unless you can stand a big glass of milk with each meal, take calcium pills. But you need to take them all the time, not just when your period is due. The first cycle after I started taking calcium, I thought something was wrong, because I'd never had a painless period! It won't hurt you and might even help your bones and teeth, too. Take the pills with a meal that has a little fat, a calcium is fat soluble and will just pass through you without doing any good if you take it without food.\n\nGood luck - I hope this works as well for you as it did for me.

Lots of women skip periods this way -- most of my friends have done it when they've first gotten married so they have seven uninterrupted weeks after the wedding!!  \n\nAs to your other questions -- Sometimes.  No.  Yes.  Sometimes (theoretically, how you act on birth control is how you'll be while pregnant).

Not sure there is a way but whenever I have went on a strict diet it seems to have that effect on my period. It may not effect everybody like that.

Ok I've had this problem before....honestly a little exercise can help bring forth your period faster. If you're not an active person...you can do something light such as walking or beginners yoga...trust me it really helps. AND If you're on any medication....this can be the real culprit. So if you're taking any unneccessary meds....stop. goodluck

Once your period has started, I don't think there is a way of stopping it. If you are already on the pill, depending on the pill, and you don't wish to have your period, you just continue taking the pill, instead of stopping for a week or taking the placebos during that pauze. Your period will only appear after stopping or taking the placebos. It is not recommendable to continue taking the pill for a large amount of time.

SEE A DOCTOR.\n\nUnder any circumstance, a doctor can walk you through whats going on and advise you how to take care of your body.\n\nPregnant:  You should know ASAP, so you can learn how to take care of your body. . . A doctor is one person who is there to help you.  You need to be looking after taking care of this baby.  RESPECT LIFE.\n\nNot-Pregnant:  Are you athletic/too skinny?  Overly athletic women can skip their periods.  A doctor will still be able to educate you on how to deal with your body and the changes that are making you skip your period.  \n\nI distrust doctors too, and if you're young you may be worried about how to get mom & dad to take you to the doctor, but these are little challenges that you are capable of taking care of.\n\nBest wishes

Gurl there is not way to speed up ur period. its a 28 day cycle.. and ur egg has to mature before it can die and u get ur period.  if u havent had ur first one yet.. then give it time.  the range for a girl to start is 10 -17 yrs old.. dont stress it.. Stress can make u late also!!

Here's an old trick that may or may not work for you.  You can try taking 1000 mg. of vitamin C a day - plain Vitamin C *without* rose hips added.\n\nVitamin C can cause smooth muscle cramps, which may stimulate uterine contractions, encouraging early mensturation.\n\nNo guarantee that this will work for you, but it's perfectly safe to try as long as you do *not* take the vitamin in a higher dose than 1000 mg a day.  \n\nThis is best used as an incidental thing  - like if you want your period to start a few days earlier one month.  Also, even if it does work for you, your period may only come a day or two earlier than it normally would.

yeah, if you're taking birth control pills (not the sugar pills they give you for the week that you're supposed to have your period) you should skip your period.  My doctor told me it was safe to skip your period once in a while if you have a special occation like a vacation or wedding or something where you dont want your period, but it's not safe to skip your period often.

Yes, go to your doctor and ask for norethisterone. It's a form of progesterone which will delay your period until you want it to happen. It's perfectly safe to do.

I think your family will support you. They may not agree with your choices but they were young once. They know what it's like to be caught up in the moment. The only form of birth control that is 100% effective is abstenance. You're cycles  may not be regulated and sometimes when you stress so much about the possiblility of being pregnant, you can miss your period or it might come late. If the time comes that you have indeed missed your period and it has been at least 40 days since your last cycle, go to your doctor and find out if you are pregnant. At the same time you see your doctor, have him/her fit you for a diaphram so the next time you have sex, You have a back up to a condom. You can also try spermicides and things like that as an alternative to the pill. There is a shot out there called Depo Provera that is another form of birth control. You can try an IUD. There are so many options besides the pill. Obviously a condom might not be the answer for you. Good luck
