Every woman has her unique menstrual cycle. Some are blessed with longer and prominent menstrual cycles, which mean the gap between their periods is almost a month long. But those who have shorter menstrual cycle may get periods within 25 days. Getting period on a particular time of the month can be daunting in many ways.
You cannot actively participate in revelries, sports programs or special occasions. This is why many women choose to prepone their period according to personal convenience. There are several methods for achieving a preponed period, some of them are mentioned here.
You can use birth control pills for preponing periods
Those of you who have taken emergency contraceptive pills probably know that this type of pills can make periods get preponed. So, if you are physically fit and want to prepone your periods, try some contraceptive pills. It is not necessary to use emergency contraceptive pills as the regular contraceptive pills we do as well. The reason why these pills have the power of preponing your periods is that they contain progesterone and estrogen.
You should consult your physician before taking this step and get a physical check up done. Women with heart diseases and some other physical conditions should not use these pills. Generally, you will have to start taking the contraceptive pills early. Stop taking them after 7 days of regular consumption and wait for 2 to 3 days. There are high chances that you will get your period within 48 hours of stopping the intake of pills. Though contraceptive pills are reliable and convenient they can also impart side effects and cause physical problems.
