Question:
Doctor, I have been in a relationship for over a year now but unfortunatly by boyfriend lives in a different state than I do. I haven't seen him in about 4 months and I found out that he is intending on coming here in about a month. I just had my period and on a menstrual calculator online I am expected to have my period when he is here. We have had sex before and I know that he wants it just as much as I do so is there a chance that I wont have my period at the expected time? Is there anything that I could do that doesnt involve medications that would stop my period from starting so soon? Could I do anything to "postpone" my period so that I could have intercourse without my period? Please, please respond!

Unfortunately, there really is not much you can do to postpone your period. But having your period does not mean that you cannot be intimate with him. You can kiss, cuddle, touch each other all over, play with each other's bodies, etc. The possibilities are endless. Even if you don't like to use tampons, you can use a pad and simply concentrate on the rest of your body. "Outercourse" can be just as fun as intercourse. So don't panic! Relax and simply look forward to him coming to see you. Many men and women don't mind having intercourse despite her period. They simply put some towels down and have sex. But that really depends on how you feel about it and whether you even feel like having intercourse during that time. Don't do anything you don't want to do! Hope thsi helps at least a little bit!
