To delay your periods for the pooja on the 25th, you can consider taking Norethisterone. It is best to consult with your doctor before starting any medication.

I'm supposed to get my period in about three days, but I started having upper stomach pain today. Could this be related to my period? I'm curious why periods cause stomach pain. I'm a 27-year-old woman and would really like to know how to ease this discomfort.

Question

I'm a bit worried because my wife's period was supposed to start on February 26, 2020, but it hasn't yet. She took a pregnancy test with the Prega News kit, and it came back negative. She's been experiencing some stomach pain, especially on the lower side, and she's feeling really tired, especially at night, and a bit nauseous. I'm just wondering what steps we should take to help her period start. Any advice?
