1. Speed up your period with the contraceptive pill
One way to give your cycle a little boost or influence it is to take the contraceptive pill. By taking the pill you can either speed up or delay your period. Instead of taking the pill for twenty-one days as usual, you shorten the period. If you stop taking it, your period (in this case, withdrawal bleeding) will start earlier than normally planned. After a break of seven days, you can start taking the pill again.
But be careful: This option is not necessarily our first choice when it comes to giving your period a little boost! So, vite, vite and on to the next tip...
2. Initiate menstruation with home remedies
OK, OK, we admit that this is not scientifically based advice in the sense of the “scientific journal”… BUT, it certainly makes sense to look for suitable alternatives in natural medicine. Because some herbs can contain one or two supportive measures that can speed up your period. So bring on the vegetables…
3. Vitamin C as an accelerator
Vitamin C has always helped a lot and so it is not surprising that it can be a real help when it comes to boosting your period. By increasing your intake of vitamin C, you can give your estrogen levels a helping hand. At the same time, your progesterone levels decrease.
That's all well and good, but what does that mean now?
With an increased estrogen concentration, blood flow to the uterus is stimulated and the reduced progesterone affects the thickness of your uterine lining.
A lot of vitamin C can be found in these foods:
- Parsley
- spinach
- cabbage (kohlrabi, kale ...)
- berries
- kiwi

Your period is an important indicator of your health.
