is it possible to make it come quicker? I'm due on any day now, and have had that horrible sluggish bloated feeling for a few days now. I really just want my period to be over with so that I stop feeling so uncomfortable.


Any suggestions?

Sadly not.
I don't think there's much can be done for this month, Butterfly, but if it's a regular thing, you might want to have a chat your GP or practice nurse. They may possibly prescribe something, or just recommend various dietary changes you could make to alleviate the problem.

Those yogurt drinks are supposed to work, but I have no experience of them. Or perhaps you could try a few diuretic foods - stuff like plain water or watercress, which makes you wee more.

My mum used to swear by moving the furniture around in our house...the physical activity used to bring hers on earlier so maybe if you went to the gym or something it would have the same effect?


Or you could confuse your family and move the furniture!

it might not work in time now but the essential oil rosemary is thought to bring periods on - can't remember the medical term for it i'm afraid. My mother-in-law adds it to her daily bath for about 3 days to bring a period forward.
The Women's Nutrition Advisory Service have a website and they have a lot of very good advice about managing period problemsby adjusting what you eat and drink. Not much help for now, I know, but it could help you avoid feeling off in the future?

lol thats funny. Maybe it's just spring time, because my period should be here any day now, and I have been feeling the same way.


"Think it...and IT will come ;) "

Im with mrs zom. move some furniture around or lift somethin heavy being sure to bend your knees so as not to hurt your back.
...convince yourself you have a very important date/interview/whatever ..and garanteed they will arrive
Interesting- I think dancealot is right! It is Spring (I can see Seagulls going at it on my roof terrace as I write) and maybe Mother Nature is putting off our periods so we have longer to reproduce. That would make sense!
sex

sometimes a hot bath helps

Thanks for all the suggestions, it has finally arrived, I tried everything that was suggested bar the sex, I don't know if that helped or if it just came naturally.
