Tips to Postpone Menstruation
Postponing periods is a tricky affair. This is because the advice of doctors is to keep menstruation free and unhampered. As such, when one does something to interfere with regular menstruation, there is always a lot of risks involved.
Although it is fare safer to keep menstruation as it is, there are certain situations when one will find an extreme need to postpone it. This is especially true for women who are involved in strenuous activities that demand physical movements such as swimming, cycling, gymnastics, and other sports. On the other hand, an upcoming wedding or honeymoon or a vacation that coincides with one’s menstrual period is one reason for postponing menstruation.
Ways to Postpone Menstruation
- One of the common ways employed to postpone menstruation is through fasting for a day while drinking only water in large quantities. This strategy will deprive your body of the essential nutrients. This deprivation will cause the body to alter its normal hormonal pattern, thus, delaying menstrual cycle. On the other hand, the method will cause the woman to become fatigued temporarily. However, there are no known lasting negative effects.
- Try consuming fried gram lentil soup with warm water. Consume the preparation every day for one week prior to the scheduled menstrual date.When consuming it, make sure that the stomach is empty. Hence, it is best consumed early in the morning. Although success is not guaranteed with this method, a lot of women still try it because it is easy to follow.
- Take oral contraceptives several days before the arrival of menstruation. This will delay the menstruation for several days. However, make sure that you continue taking the pills. You may stop only once there is no longer any reason to postpone it.
Postpone Menstruation
The choice of whether to postpone or not one’s menstrual cycle ultimately rests on the woman’s judgment. However, once the choice has been made, one should make sure to acquire medical advice first. This is in order to make sure that one will be using the chosen method properly. Once a choice has been made, make sure that all other advices with regards to diet, physical activity, and sexual activity will be followed. This is to avoid unwanted consequences due to the postponement of menstrual period.

I tried to delay my period from last night for this weekend with birth control pills. But today I saw my period has started. There is very light menstrual bleeding. I really want to delay this by a week. Yesterday, I took 2 tablets and took 2 of them today. I was thinking 1 tablet a day is good enough to postpone my menstrual cycle by a week.
I have been trying to postpone my chumps for about a week but when it started I have been having heavy flow and severe pain. Is it some kind of side effect? Can I have sex during my period or when I am on these pills?
- The heavy blood flow and bleeding that you are experiencing, is due to the withdrawal symptoms of the drug / prescription, that you have taken to delay your periods. Heavy bleeding occurs, since there has been an imbalance or a change in the hormonal profile of your body, and is called withdrawal bleeding.
- Also, several side effects or associated symptoms are known to occur, when you take these drugs, such as pain and cramps in the abdomen, breast tenderness, and abdominal bloating. They pass away soon.
- Sexual intercourse can be had while you are on the pills, since most of these pills are oral contraceptives themselves.
- Visit your gynecologist once in a while if there is any need to alter the drug or the dosage.
Hi I just want to find out something:
I have a very regular period. Now the problem is from the beginning of the year I have been spot on when calculating when I would get my next period. It so happened that this month it came one week early. The problem lies is that I have been planning a holiday for November and it so happens that when I’m on holiday I will be getting my period. I want to find out if I can take anything to either get it one week early or one week later so that when I’m on holiday I’m not in pain and having a moody horrible holiday. Oh and I am not on any pill or anything.
Please advise.
