There is no safe, reliable way to make a period come early at home
If your period is late, take a pregnancy test if pregnancy is possible
Check for stress, illness, major weight changes, heavy exercise, or sleep disruption
Avoid trying unproven methods like high-dose vitamins, herbs, or laxatives
Do not use hormones or birth control to change your cycle unless prescribed by a clinician
If you need your period timing changed for a specific reason, ask a healthcare professional
Seek medical care if you have severe pain, very heavy bleeding, fainting, or missed periods for several months
