    Default how to bring on a late period?

    does anybody know of any tricks to bring on a very late period? i've googled it, and tried everything from sex every night to vitamin C. the past month it was late as well, but it finally came two weeks late..well this month it hasn't happened at all! the worst part is that i'm very bitchy, paranoid, just bad pms as well as bloated, and broken out! i need it to get here so my body and face can go back to normal, i'm honestly getting so frustrated! i have a bad feeling its going to start in the middle of work and the floodgates will open because its been so long.
    its probably because of my recent weight gain ( BMI is still within healthy weight though), because nothing else has changed. if anybody can help that would be great. 99% sure not pregnant

    Well first of all make sure you are 100% sure not pregnant, not 99%!

    Women WANTING to get their periods is a pretty rare thing so I can't think of anything, you could probably check with your gyno or GP. But definitely for the future maybe consider going on birth control as that has always helped me stabilize my periods.

    Putting a few drops of rosemary oil in your panties every day and night til it starts. I always had irregularities until this.

    thanks guys! hormonal BC has always caused me such extreme nausea, break outs, head aches and depression i haven't been able to use it for a very long time, but my periods are usually like clockwork.
    i will probably have to break down and go to the doctor in another week if nothing happens, just sucks with no insurance :/

    I am a total hippie chick who has no faith in western medicine. I've been irregular my whole life but after trying the rosemary I have had two periods on time two months in a row. We'll see if it keeps up. But all a doctor will do for you is give you b/c. That stuff makes me fat and crazy, for real. Give rosemary a try. It even has a pleasant tingle and is good for yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis as well. Just make sure you get essential oil and not fragrance. Even a lower end one like aura cacia will work. It's only like 7 bucks.

    Thanks so much for starting this thread! I've had the exact same problem since having a baby. I'm going to work tomorrow night and if it starts then I'll be f****d.. It was beyond heavy last time 2-3 months ago (not sure) and I had very light spotting about a month ago. Have been feeling extremely bloated and just off just like I felt before that last monster period and I'm scared lol.

    ^ your body can change a LOT after having a kid, i breast fed for quit awhile so had no period for years but it was great because i didn't get the pms symptoms either. but when i stopped breast feeding they came back, just took a long while for them to get regular again, my body was thrown off after so long.
    yea im scared too, i think im going to wear a tampon at work this week just in case..don't wanna be dancing on some guy's lap and have an ocean of blood start flowing. i read that if its super late, you will probably have a monster period when you do get it.

    I've been on lots of different kinds of BC and some are better than others... I think it's just a matter of finding one that works with your body. I'm so shit at remembering to take them I haven't bothered much with it lately, but it helped me when I was irregular.

    Mine is late as well, I was getting cramping today and got all excited it was here and my bloating would stop, but it has yet too arrive... so much fun to have the cramping and bloating at the same time!

    Have you tried Parsley? (I always thought it was great for inducing periods but it probably doesn't work for everyone)

    Hmm Maybe your cycles are re syncing?
    I just wanted to add that eating basil (preferably fresh) seems to help too. You can chop up a handful and put it on pasta/ or a salad or just make some pesto, yum! A handful or two a day is fine. (BTW I too can't handle hormonal birth control, everyone is different!) Hope you feel better soon!

    Parsley tea and/or pesto. If you are trying to get pregnant I would not recommend this method because it may cause a spontaneous miscarriage.

    I know everyone here might hop on me about this, but I was late by a couple weeks or so once & the gyno told me that Plan B can make you get your period. And no I wasn't pregnant or anything, but it did work!

    Try Maca Root. That always works for me. Bear in mind that it can cause insomnia so don't take too much. I have had great luck with it!

    This happens to me - I lose my period or it just becomes irregular. Im not on Bc.

    For me it usually a hormonal imbalance. Progesterone cream helps hugely. You can get it from a doctor or online/natural pharmacy etc. I get mine from the doctor so not sure where else you would get it. but most doctors won't go there - mine is just more of a hippy.

    You take it two weeks in your cycle to get your period and then just a tiny bit for the last two weeks. The theory as I understand it, is when you gain weight your oestrogen goes up, gets dominant and stops you getting your period.

    For me it works like a charm, daily use and everything works!

    Try a blood test. I've known pregnant gals where the pregnancy tests kept coming back negative, but the blood test showed otherwise

    ^you need to go to the doctor, that doesn't sound right simone! I've never gotten than sick from PMS symptoms... it seems like it would be early for you to be getting pregnancy related nausea (I would say morning sickness but every pregnant woman I've ever met has said it's an all the time sickness, lol!).

    My period started last night and I am in so much pain... it was almost 5 days late and I've got the worst cramps of me life, I had to take a couple Norcos I had left from getting my wisdom teeth out the pain was so bad, and I never take opiates for pain anymore (I took one when I got my wisdom teeth out and that's it).

    I know what you mean about wanting to get it to relieve the symptoms. Im late like 5 weeks now = / Im not pregnant. Last night I asked my husband to bang me really hard, I THINK im getting it tonight. I've been "pmsing" for about two and a half weeks. Im over it!! My boobs hurt like crazy im eating like a pig im fat ass hell. I think stress makes my periods irregular. I even have the pms pimples. Hopefully I get it today then ill be back to normal. Ive heard that sex(mentioned already) helps. I usually go for the hard core pounding vs sex everyday. I also heard parsley tea helps (gross) bc has never worked for me and only brought me more harm than benefits.

    Glad your period started, but that sounds abnormally bad. You might have PCOS like I do because that sounds like an issue I'd have, especially after a burst uterine cyst.

    For future reference, I get the late period problem all the time due to my PCOS, so if I want to get it early or at its properly scheduled time, I mix a tablespoon or two of dried parsley in with some honey, swallow, and start bleeding like a stuck pig 6 hours later. It's foolproof for me if I can muscle it all down my throat.

    Trivia time: this used to be part 2 of a pre-Roe-v-Wade abortion method. Part 1 involves taking 2 vitamin C tabs every hour/other hour until a minor fever is induced. It's supposed to have a 50-75% success rate, from what I've heard.
