Any advice for natural ways to delay/stop or at least lessen your period? Mine is out of control lately to the point where swimming on day 1 is impossible and even day 2 is questionable. Of course Im on track to get it right in time for my big meet. My OB gave me a sample pack of BC (Lo Loestrin Fe) as the only option to address this, but Im worried about starting it now and getting all kinds of side effects right before the meet too. I feel like its a no-win situation. I think I would rather try other ways to attempt to delay it or at least lessen it and see what kind of luck I have rather than pump un-needed hormones in my body. Help please!!

  • Swimkat, I don't know your age or plans for fertility, but if you are past your desire for more babies, perhaps you should consider a uterine ablation? Also diclofenac (Zipsor, Zorvolex or Cataflam) is what I prescribe my ladies. (I'm doubled boarded as a CNM and Family NP)
