Is there anything out there that would make your period stop for a day?

Yes, there is, unflavored, uncolored gelatin. Take 2 laminates (it has to be in laminates, not powder) and dissolve in a small amount of hot water. Let cool until it gets warm enough to drink. Put a little sugar it you want. Drink the day before you want it to stop and the next day also (once each day). A small amount would still come but not as much as before. DON´T DO THIS MORE THAN ONCE !!! IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO DO SO SINCE YOU ARE STOPPING A NATURAL PROCESS THAT COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO OVARY CYSTS.- If your problem is going to the beach, it´s better to use Tampax, there easy to use following the instructions.-

You poor thing.  Rest, relax, take some aspirin or Midol, use a heating pad.  If none of these helps, consider some vigorous exercise -- some people swear it works.  My periods were kind of rough when I was young; I got into the habit of playing the piano extra-hard, it worked every time.

Try using anything with wings.  And also, maybe you might want to try a tampon instead (but i dont recommend it).

I have tried the Nuva ring. I was on it for over a year. It was better for me because I put it in and it was nice to know that I wouldn't have to worry about it for 3 weeks til I took it out to have my period.I loved it. It's easy to put in. It never came out. Never!!! not even during sex or sitting on the toilet or anything. It even shortened my periods from 5days to about 3days. It is low level hormones. I would go back on it in a heartbeat but I changed jobs and my new insurance doesn't cover it and at like $40 a pop I decided to go back to the pill which my insurance does cover.

Banannas/Yogurt\nAnything with lots of potassium is good....check out some home remedies. Like if you swallow down cumin and salt [drink helluh water down] it will sort of make your menstruation not as...severe?

I guess you are. I personally think it's a normal function, and actually has a use. Anyway, consider the alternative, would you rather be pregnant?\nBTW, a contraceptive which makes your period go away is Depo Provera. Ask your gynecologist about it if you hate periods so much.

Contrary to popular belief menstrual cramps are not a necessary part of being a woman, excluding health problems such as endometriosis most women can prevent period pains all together, or at the very least cure the pain when they do get any easily without resorting to painkillers and without messing up their bodies with extreme hormonal methods.\n\nPeriods are only as good or bad as YOU make them – if you have a good attitude towards your period this does effect your periods including making period pains less painful, also of course if you have a positive attitude about your body it also means you are more likely to research and learn about it and so find out that there are in fact a lot of things you can do to prevent menstrual cramps all together.\n\nHere are some ideas both to prevent and ease menstrual cramps;\n\n•Do not use painkillers, these actually increase period pain over time as your body build immunity and gets used to the painkillers being within your system, not only that but they simply numb the pain they do not actually do anything about the cause of the pain – pain is your bodies way of telling you that something is wrong, don't ignore it. Coming off painkillers if this is what you normally use can be hard because the next few periods after stopping using painkillers can seem more painful, but if you use other methods to prevent or cure menstrual cramps it does get better.\n\n•Take herbal teas, many herbal teas are ideal for menstrual pains as well as other menstrual or cycle related problems including curing PMS, reducing flow, inducing your periods and regulating your menstrual cycle. Herbs to try are as follows; Lemon balm, Black Haw, Blessed thistle, Camomile, Wild marjoram, Red raspberry, Wild strawberry, Valerian, Yarrow, Raspberry leaf, Blue cohosh, Dong quai – Check with a health store to make sure they are right for you, some stores will also sell women's blends that would help as well.\n\n•Don't use tampons, as well as being very bad for vaginal health many tampons are also made in such a way that they expand lengthways meaning that they can expand straight into your cervix, which is already delicate due to menstruation, and increase cramping. Commercial pads are also best avoided because as well as also being bad for vaginal health they are generally uncomfortable so hardly help with menstrual cramps. If you use these options consider other options such as; rubber bell-shaped menstrual cups, silicone bell-shaped menstrual cups, diaphragm as menstrual cups, homemade menstrual cups, softcups, organic tampons, sponges, padettes, padded panties, organic pads, cloth pads, homemade pads, free-flow, free-flow layering, free-flow instinctive, extraction, toilet paper, period blankets, etc.\n\n•Avoid salty foods and alcohol, these can increase bloating by retaining water, and so make you feel generally sluggish as well as making cramping worse.\n\n•Drink lots of water, this can aid in avoiding bloating. This will also help with headaches or migraines brought on by menstruation. Also adding lemon juice, a natural diuretic can decrease bloating.\n\n•Eat your greens, and a healthy diet can make you feel a lot better at the best of times, but during menstruation it can be a good pick up and help avoid that sluggish feeling.\n\n•Avoid foods like dairy and caffeine, generally these can cause problems for people, during menstruation this can be particularly true, many find these increase period pains. Also avoid soy products; these are notorious for causing menstrual cramps.\n\n•Take up yoga, this is a very good exercise tip because as well as being gentle exercise it also has stretching that can help even further and breathing exercises that can help relax you and so further aid in relieving menstrual cramps.\n\n•Take a bath, a nice warm bath can help relax you and the heat can ease period pains as well, avoid things that can harm your vagina like bubble bath, however some nice

Absolutely, it just makes a bit of a mess. I'd recommend doing it in the shower personally, then the mess just gets washed away down the drain. Orgasms can actually ease the menstrual cramps as well.

taking a B vitamin complex will reduce the length of your period. Any period lasting over 9 days needs the doctor advice.

No- there is no way to make it come faster.  If you are on birth control, you can skip the placebos so your period is delayed, or ask your doctor for norithisterone to skip your period but that has to be taken up to 4 days before your period is supposed to start.

7 Tips To Reduce Menstrual Cramps\n\nDid you know that menstrual cramps is the single greatest cause of lost school and working hours among women?\n\nAlso known as dysmenorrhea, menstrual cramps are the cause of an estimated 140 million hours of lost school and work. However, you do not have to live in pain. Below are some helpful tips that can help women during this particularly painful time of the month.\n\n1. Try to eat smaller, more frequent meals. A lot of food\ncauses blood sugar to rise and fluctuate. instead of eating three large meals, eat five or six small meals a day, each about two and a half hours apart.\n\n2. Exercise. Exercise can help alleviate menstrual cramps by raising the level of beta-endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain associated with pain relief. Studies have shown that beta endorphins have a positive effect on mood and behavior.\n\n3. Try an over the counter Ibuprofen. Advil, Nuprin, and Motrin IB all contain Ibuprofen, which is one of the best pain relievers around. 200 milligrams every four to six hours is the recommended dosage, or twice that if symptoms warrant.\n\n4. Oral contraceptive pills: Have been found to decrease the amount of menstrual tissue formed and lower the pain level (amplitude) of the uterine contractions.\n\n5. Mefenamic acid: Also found over the counter, effectively relieves severe menstrual pain while also reducing heavy menstrual bleeding, easing menstrual migraine, and easing the\nphysical and emotional symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.\n\n6. Reduce salt intake: To prevent water retention that causes bloating. Also, avoid liquor and other alcoholic beverages to reduce headaches.\n\n7. Learn to relax. Rest, sleep and relaxation exercises can help reduce the pain and discomfort of menstrual cramps. A relaxing massage or bath with oil made with chamomile, lavender, marjoram, ginger and/or clary sage. They are aromatic and can aid in relaxation.\n\nNever surrender to pain. There are steps you can take to help alleviate the pain and discomfort. So, the next time you experience any painful menstruation symptoms, be sure to try these tips.

Lay a heating pad on your lower abdomen.  Stay away from caffeine during your period.  It tends to make cramps worse.  Ibuprofen works well.  You can also get put on birth control pills, they help regulate periods and also decrease menstrual cramps.  You can also get a prescription for prescription strength ibuprofen, it works really well.

boy do I have a story for you!  I once had my period for 23 day straight.  I first went to my normal doctor and she did absolutely nothing.  No tests were run or anything.   I then went to the gyno hoping for an answer.  He preceeded to tell me that it was because I was fat and that the fat cells give off more estrogen and that can prolong your period.  I went home crying still not knowing exactly what to do about the problem.

From my experience... you can try a couple things. \n1. Try douching with warm water.\n2. Try masterbating/intercourse.  your "chemicals" have been know to speed up the menses. \nI use to play the "hurry it up" or "push it up" when I was on the BC pills for the weekends with B/f but that worked with pills. \nHowever, I dont think your can completely stop mother nature...once its started.  try hurrying it up.
