mind over body?

Former Member

Hello!
Just a little question.........
Im going away on a nice romantic holiday with my boyfriend next week, and was really annoyed to realise im supposed to be on my period!
So, I started begging my body to come on early, and it has!!! Now I know it sounds strange, but im usually later rather than early!
So my question is, do you think its possible to convince your body to start your period early? Or am i mad?
Thanks for reading! would love to know what you all think!

depends what else you are doing to your body at the same time.
stress, diet, exercise, etc, etc, etc... all have an effect.

jeez, i wish i could do that....got any tips!?!

Former Member

well, theres nothing different in terms of exercise, diet etc. I came off the pill a couple of months ago. So, it could be that I suppose, although id love to think it wasnt!!!
Tell you what though, I love my body today!!! Yay!!! I dont have to feel nasty on holiday!!!! Yay!!! :yippe:

how much earlier than normal did you come on?

Former Member

That happened to me last week I was telling my body "please come on either this week or next" and I came on last week instead of a fortnights time.

Former Member

So many times i have wished that but no never experienced it!
thank goodness for the pill so just get control of it now!

Former Member

Im a week early, its so cool!
So, if two of us have experienced it, i wonder if it is possible??? Has anyone else?

I did love that part of being on the pill, but all the other effects made it less appealing!

It sounds possible. I mean, don't periods of women all living together align themselves? Surely these things are possible. I know it's all to do with hormone levels that stimulate egg release and uterus lining, so perhaps your mental willingness causes them to be secreted earlier?

its weird, 1 of my best friends and i would have our periods at pretty much the same time while we were at school (i'd come on about 2days later than her) but now it's the holidays and we dont see each other as much, they're not as close anymore
i think i might try convincing my body lol, but i usually come on at the begining of the month so it hasnt really gotten in the way with anything yet.
