You cannot make yourself have a menstrual period on demand
Menstruation happens naturally as part of the menstrual cycle
If your period is late or absent, take a pregnancy test if pregnancy is possible
Track your cycle dates and symptoms
Maintain a healthy body weight and regular eating habits
Reduce extreme stress when possible
Avoid excessive exercise or severe dieting
See a healthcare professional if your periods are irregular, very painful, or stop for more than 3 months
Use only medications or hormonal treatments prescribed by a healthcare professional to regulate bleeding or induce a period
