How do you shorten the length of your period?

In: Menstruation [Edit categories]

Answer:

how to shorten or not get your period

The way i shorten the length of my period is that i take birth control. this way is the way i control not getting it at all! if u are interested in not getting your monthly, simply take the patch, or nuva ring. when the day your cycle is ready to begin put your nuva ring in early, or put your patch on early that same day. its not recommended by doctors because of your regularity being put off and your hormones might be out of wack, but it works for me! been doing it for a year now with my nuva ring. another suggestion is to leave your birth control in or on longer for one more week, but use a backup method if u are sexually active because going that week longer does not ensure the 99.9% accurateness!
