Dh surprised me for our 10th anniversary and is taking me away.(1st time alone together since son was born 4 yrs ago) Unfortunatly I am due for my period the week we are to be away. I usually get very painful periods and don't want it to ruin our trip. I am currently on CD 13 of 25-28 day cycle. Is there anything I can do to prevent period from arrving the week I'm away?? Please??

Hi sjexpress, welcome!

Talk to your doctor about a ten day regimen of progestin pills (not the progestin only contraceptive). They are often used successfully by women divers to delay their periods around diving trips. Let us know how they work for you, ok? Have fun on your trip!

Good luck,
