Is there any way to speed up the starting of your period?

Is there anyway to speed up the starting of your period?

((im going to explain myself first as I dont want anyone thinking I am a slag. basically I am nearl 16 and have been going out with my partner for 5 years. we want to start a family and my parents are fine with it. my mom has terminal cancer and has been told she will be alive less than 2 years, and really wants a granddchild before she passses away. we have spoken to a family planning clinic and my doctors and everyone thinks its fine. the only thing stopping me is the fact that I have not yet started my period. a dietition has told me to try and eat more fattening foods and that this might help but other than that, any advice anyone? Thanks xx))

Naturally no- fake hormones yes. The doctor can prescribe hormone tablets that help the period to start.

I am quite amazed that the Family Planning Clinic are supporting a 16 year old to have a child, that is truly unbelievable. Do you honestly understand what it is like to have a child? The pain is unbearable, your vagina will most likely be ripped, you get an intense feeling of pressure like you’re body is trying to turn you inside out, you have loads of people staring at your private parts, you have people sticking there fingers up you, loads of blood everywhere- it’s horrific. And that’s just the start you then have to look after the child for the rest of it’s life. Changing every 2 hours, feeding, only getting 4 hours sleep a night at the maximin, the crying, the needing. You are still a child yourself and you have not even finished school.

You’re body is not ready. The simple fact that your period has not started shows that your body is definitely not ready. The younger you are the more likely the birth has complications as well, that would be putting not only your own health at risk but also the child… could you really go through with that.

I can remember one of your questions before asking if you think it is ok to have a child because your mum wants one and if I remember rightly the majority said no and I still say no to this day. As nice a gesture it is you will have to put your life on hold for atleast a few years, no job no income, stressed, it will also take toll on your love life. Seriously have you researched stats- so many couples split up with the sole reason being stress of a new born. And your Mum really wants you to risk all this for her? Risk loosing your boyfriend, risk loosing you if the birth goes wrong, risk loosing a grandchild due to a complicated birth? I understand how you are feeling but you can not do something like this for your mum.

Answer #2

I know how you feel but think twice. look is not easy to have a child specially with your age your body is not ready and you are doing it 4 your mom. I understand your feeling of a good daughter and your intentions are beautiful but remember your mother is going to live soon and you the one who is going to be there with the baby for the rest of your life and have you talk to your boyfriend to see if he is completely sure of doing it for your mom.look your mom has to understand that you are not ready for this talk to her and try to spend this time that you guys have together and make the most of it and later she will be happy for you and in the future when you have a child you will talk to him and tell him this story I ll bet you he will be proud of you and your mom will be watching over you and her grandson she will be his angel and she her self will be proud of you and happy that by then will be old enough to be a mom and prepare economic to give this baby a good life.I have my first child when I was twenty I was not ready yet so many times I was crying like a baby with him and I love him so much but I steel feel some times that I was to young to be a mom because I was a child my self in a need of a mom. now I m 28 the best age to have your child is at 25 you feel more secure and know what you want with your life and your body is ready but don’t wait to 30 that is to old.good luck.

Answer #3

Surely if you’ve not started your periods it’s because your body is not ready to have a child. It must be horrible going through life knowing that you’re going to lose your mum far too soon - I can’t imagine it - but bringing a child into this world before you’re ready to support it (both financially and emotionally) is probably not the best thing to do.

Answer #4

I was rushed into marrying at 18 and having a baby at 19 for my Dad so he could be a grandpa before he died when I was 22. I wish I had waited to have kids until I was older.

Answer #5

listen to beth - liveyourlife. she is 100% right. and besides, the younger you start having children, the more health problems you’ll have later on. my aunt died from cancer in her uterus two years ago at the age of 28. she had her first child when she was 14. I think your mother should want her daughter to live a normal, healthy life, and want to do what’s best for YOU, not selfishly demanding that you risk everything just for her. Some things are worth risking everything for. This isn’t one of them.
