hi. im on vacation right now. i was supposed to start my period like 8 days ago. i haven't yet. im usually very regular. and i haven't been with anyone intimately since xmas. i drank parsley tea to bring it on but it hasn't work. in 8 days i will leave LA and go to NY before heading back to florida. my ex is in NY and who knows what could happen. so now i want to delay my period even more. my friend im staying with here in LA is using birth control. could i just start that now and hopefully delay it until i get back on the 14th. let me know. i haven't used BC pills in 4 years and i dont remember.

PLEASE HELP!

it is not safe to take prescription medication that is not prescribed to you.

cycles can be wierd. if parsley tea did not bring it on, there was likely nothing to bleed out. please do not mess with your bod any more. it will bleed when it is ready to.

i wouldnt normally do this. but ive been prescribed this before. i just dont use it anymore. so i figured it might be fine...

thats so weird cause this has never happened to me before. do you know of any herbs that will lighten it or something if it does come when im in NY

your period might be delayed due to stress? And I've also heard of periods not happening on vacation because your body is under travel-changes-stress-weirdness. Apparently, it's kind of a common occurance.

I'd recommend just waiting it out, and not jumping into the birth control pill pool just yet. If you end up wanting to hook up with the ex and it turns out you have it, perhaps try an Instead cup, which I've heard you can wear during intercourse.

good luck!

I just made the exact same suggestion to a friend in the exact same situation. Good job!

thanks. i just looked up the cup thing. ive never heard of it. im hoping i dont get it. but that sounds like a good option. im just wondering if he'll know..that just seems odd that someone wouldn't be able to feel it.

yeah i'm not so sure about the instead thing either, as I haven't tried it myself during intercourse, but i've used it instead of tampons before, and it was alright. except they're disposable, which I found to be a lot of waste.

I'm a fan of the diva cup, myself. http://www.thedivacup.com
