Period Problems
So, I'm 18 years old, I started my period like 5 years ago and it is still irregular!! (I've been on BC before, but I don't care for it too much.) I've noted that it's irregular in that it always comes later than last month's. Anyways, this Sunday I'm moving into college and I really, really don't wanna be moving in and wondering if it's coming that day and what not. Plus, I don't want it to start right when I get to college!!! Also, a great amount of pain is involved for me and I don't want to be dealing with that while I'm moving/getting settled either! Anyways, I was wondering if there was a way to make it come sooner? In the past, I have taken BC for a few nights, then quit, knowing it would come. However, I don't think I have enough time for that!

theres really not alot you can do...your period comes and goes on its own schedule.... Although birth control may make it lighter, it will still be there.

Aside from taking birth control, unfortunately there isn't alot you can do to delay your period. You might find it beneficial to visit your doctor and explain your problem. You should consider possibly going on other birth control methods other than the Pill such as the injection, which stops your periods altogether for as long as it lasts (I believe this is up to 2 years but I'm not entirely sure).
As you only have a very short amount of time left, it's unlikely that you will be able to get this before you leave. However, if you do manage to visit your doctor in time, he/she may be able to prescribe you with some strong painkillers to help with the cramps.
Other than that, you will just have to make sure that you have a small 'emergency kit' stashed in your handbag. Make sure you bring your preferred choice of sanitary protection, a change of underwear and some painkillers. If you're worried about it coming suddenly with no warning, you might like to use a pantyliner (a smaller, thinner version of a pad, designed to absorb everyday discharge) so that you don't get caught out.
