How can i force start my period?
I'm about to go on a vacation in a week and i don't want my period to come then. My period is supposed to be due today but it has not arrived yet. I'm thinking of taking medication to force start it just to be safe. I really don't want my vacation to be ruined. What pills can I take? And how long before it will make any effect? I don't want to delay the period because I heard that there may be side effects (nausea, etc) and that would ruin the vacation too. Please help!

...I don't think there is a way to do that but in the past, I have noticed sometimes if I have sex it will start right after or almost during. So I guess you could try that. If you have no steady sexual partner then maybe masturbation. Good luck.. lol.

If you're on birth control, there's a trick you can do to make it come later. I forgot how to do it, but the nurse would tell you. My period was supposed to come 2-3 days later but it actually didn't come until a week later! When it finally came it lasted a very long time (about 2 weeks and I had less emotions than usual). I don't know if you can do it though because you're going on vacation in a week and it takes about 14 days for the body to get used to birth control. Doesn't hurt to ask though.
I read on WikiAnswers that you can be prescribed progesterone which makes your period start faster.

I'm not aware of any kind of pills you can take... not that there aren't any I just don't know what they are. also I wouldn't want to force start it because it can mess up your system and f things up for you in the long run. if your suppose to have it today then just be patience and it will be coming within the next day or to and you should be good before you leave for the trip. I have had the same problem on trying to figure this one out but don't worry it will come soon enough.

You can't start them like that, it's nature, it's going to happen when it's supposed to. You can't delay them either.
I will tell you it might be late or messed up since you're stressing so bad over it.
Reschedule your vacation or take some tampons and be ready for the interruption. It wont ruin a vacation, but it doesn't make it more fun either.

Nothing you take should cause nausea, but you can try to get on the pill and when you start the pills it will put off your period until the end of the pack but i don't know of anything to make it start. Maybe having sex would start it if it is soon due!

Don't take any pills to start your period that might actually delay it even more... I know it sounds weird but sex always seems to bring it on for me. Try to relax as much as possible the more you stress the more it could delay it no dieting it anything like that it'll come just be patient.

I would try these, maybe all of them!
masturbate (actually seems to work a lot, when i do it around the time I'm supposed to get my period i usually end up getting it the very next day no matter if it's earlier than normal or later.)
massage stomach
hot bath
exercise
garlic tea
relax, stress will cause your period to come late
