Late periods are stressful, especially when you’re expecting a regular cycle. (Many people look for ways to get their period right away, by the way: It’s worth noting, however, that there can be health consequences to manipulating your period without professional help, so be cautious.) This guide covers safe, natural, and scientifically proven techniques that you can use to regulate your cycle, and handle the causes.

Understanding the Menstrual Cycle

The normal menstrual cycle varies from 21 to 35 days. It’s controlled by hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which prime the body for pregnancy. Any disruption in these hormones can result in missed or late periods.

Common Causes of Delayed Periods

• Stress
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
• Thyroid disorders
• Excessive exercise
• Poor nutrition
• Sudden weight changes
• Certain medications

Can You Really Get Your Period Immediately?

The short answer: not always. And although certain techniques might encourage your period to start in a few days, there’s no surefire way to make your period come instantly. The most important factors are the level of preparedness of your body and your hormone levels.

Natural Methods to Support Menstrual Regularity

• Warm Compress: Applying heat to the abdominal area may increase blood flow.
• Hydration: Staying well-hydrated supports bodily functions, including hormone regulation.
• Papaya: Contains carotene, which can help in estrogen production.
• Ginger Tea: May have uterine stimulating properties.

Stress Management and Its Role

Exercise: Helpful or Harmful?

Over-the-Counter Options (With Caution)

Vitamin C: Can decrease progesterone, possibly resulting in menstruation.

NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen): May reduce PMS symptoms, but should not be taken in an attempt to trigger a period.

When to Consult a Doctor
