WHERE IS IT!!?! The Panic Of The Late/Missing Period

Who hasn't lived through the gut-wrenching worry of the late period? Even when you're not getting any and the only opportunity for pregnancy would be supernatural, a period that won't come down is a real drag. So after you are SURE you aren't pregnant, here are a few things that might help the Reds along.

-First of all, it's a good idea to make sure you aren't hosting a hidden yeast infection. It is possible to have one and not be symptomatic. If you're more than usually tired, experiencing more nasal allergies than usual and craving sweets or bread, this might be your culprit. Try this or this or even just a tampon with a few drops of castor oil and tea tree oil overnight. If that's your issue, it should come right down.

-Try some yoga. Bow pose (like this) with some gentle rocking back and forth should help. Any pose that brings blood to the pelvis region is a good idea.

-Lastly, and this is one of my favorites, parsley tea. It's not yummy, but it's easy. Grab a bunch of organic parsley, boil some water. When the water has boiled, turn it off, throw in the washed parsley and put a top on the pan. Let it sit from 10 minutes to a half hour. Then - drink. Is it wonderful. Nope. Tastes like ass. BUT it works.

But the great thing about doing any of this work is the reward: 5 days of cramping and bleeding. Whee.
