The last two months I have gotten my period on the 16. I've had it for a year now. But the 16 of June I will be 15 hours away from home for 5 days at a church camp. Not to mention, it's on the beach. Is there any way I can induce my period or delay it without any birth control or hormones? Also, I use tampons. I sleep with pads. I'm going to be sharing a bed and even with over night pads I leak sometimes. I'm very anxious about this, especially the car rides, sleeping, disposal of pads and tampons, swimming, and everything else!

I know they say a lot of stress or change of environment can change your cycle but this isn't definite, it all depends on your body. When I was in Basic Training some girls didn't get their period because of both factors (stress and change). With that being said, I would just like to remind you that (with the assumption) you will be around a bunch of girls... you will all be in the same boat or they at least know how you are feeling! Don't be afraid to say you need a bathroom break its completely normal. I would say thats the important thing because that will help you avoid leaking or feeling uncomfortable or extra paranoid. I don't know about you but sometimes when I'm with my girl friends and we're out I'll ask one that I feel super comfortable with to "check me" to make sure I'm good and haven't gone through. I think that takes a certain level of openness and being comfortable so if you have that one friend, use her! [ iSLAND_iNTHE_SUNx0's advice column | Ask iSLAND_iNTHE_SUNx0 A Question ]
