Oh no!!
I'm supposed to get my IUD inserted in 2 day, but my period is late! It was supposed to come 2 days ago. I'm SURE I'm not pregnant. All I had was some spotting yesterday.

Is there anything I can take, a tea or something to make my period come?

Any help is welcomed!
Thank you.

No, hon, sorry. There`s no way to "force" your period to happen. It`s controlled by hormones and Aunt Flow will come whenever she feels like it. Perhaps the stress of getting your IUD has caused her to be late? Try to relax. A good cup of tea, a hot bath, and a good book to relieve some tension may be just the break your body needs to begin your period. Although these things won`t directly bring your period (and here`s my disclaimer: it`s not guaranteed to work! :) ) if stress over your procedure is your problem, it may help.

If AF is due to start anytime now, I`m sure that she will show up before you`re supposed to get it inserted in two days.

Good luck!
