i once read a Q&A in some magazine or other, with Dr. Drew Pinksy of Love Line, in which he said masturbation encourages a woman's period to start. i don't know if that means (protected) sexual activity in general, or simply clitoral stimulation, but like i said, he said masturbation helps (ther person was actually asking if masturbating could make her period late, and Dr. Drew said no, that the opposite was true).

Any sort of orgasmic release can cause periods to come early and labor to start. It has to do not only with uterine contractions but the release of certain hormones in large doses during climax. Depending on why your period is late, there are some medications or herbal methods for making them come along. I have a friend who swears by putting wild yam and cramp bark tinctures into a cup of hot red raspberry leaf tea. Another uses penny royal in a carrier oil massaged directly onto her abdomen but that method makes me hesitant. I'm an old fuddy duddy and always encourage checking with a certified herbalist before using stuff like penny royal.

Don't take pennyroyal oil internally, it's highly toxic. The dried leaves can be consumed in small quantities in tea. That also helps with cramps.

My friend who uses it uses it as part of an oil sort of situation and rubs it on but I don't know proportions, etc. Penny royal is one of those things that I'd go to an herbalist or some sort of practicioner for advice on it's use instead of just trying to wing on my own.

Parsley tea - just get normal dried parsley leaves and pour boiling water on them. Apparently you can also stick a sprig of fresh parsley in your vagina, but i can't vouch for whether that works because i've never done it. (although i'd guess it needed a wash before you put it in!)

You can't unless u talk the morning after pill, but that forces you to expel your lining of ur uterus but no egg is released.
