is the pill... microgynon.. and you just take it straight through and you don't have to fret when you're festivalling/holidaying. sorry, no miracle one off pills i don't think? you'd only need to take it for a month or two and then stop though if you don't want to take it forever!

Get pregnant. And abort it when you get back.

It takes three months for your body to get used to any contraceptive pill so you can't guarantee you won't still get problems.
They do however help with really bad pains, so maybe you should go on the mini pill anyway, just to calm that down.

make an appointment with yr Doc today :)

the contraceptive injection. works like the pill but instead of daily pills you just have 1 injection every 3 months or so.

you could just have it done once, it's supposed to stop your periods completely but i think it takes a while for the body to adjust so they can be a bit random until then.

make a GPs appointment and they'll take you through all the options.

you're not really supposed to do it and it depends on whether any of your firends have enough/are willing to give you some.
but yeah.

cos i don't really know of anything that will just stop it for a week.

try the minipill, it only has one hormone in it i think, you take it daily and can stop your period altogether, though apparently you can experience light bleeding.

I wouldn't go on it now, considering that the festival is in a few weeks and it won't work by then anyway.

The mooncup is good if you're out and about for long stints as you only need to empty it every 6-7 hours and don't need to carry tampons around with you. www.mooncup.co.uk/

you'll be at a festival anyway

it's called Utovlan (I think) and you take it three days before your period is due. You take it three time a day and your period will start a couple of days after you finish.

i remember now! about 6 years ago, i took a pill that stops your period completely for that month. you take it on the first day of your period (and possibly for each day after for a few days?? can't remember...) and it stops completely.

only thing was.. for me.. my next period skipped.. and then the one after that was HORRENDOUSLY painful..crippling agony. (might be a coincidence...errr) but speak to your doctor about it. it does exist.

I took some once a couple of years ago when on holiday. I didn't go to the docs til the day before I left (and I was due on during that holiday) and the pills worked fine.

Be warned though, you will probably get the worst period ever when you come off of it.

called The Marina (sp?) Anyway it stops your period for a whole year. A mate of mine works in Sex education and she says it's the best form of contraception to date.

I mean, how hard can it be to smile. We've all had tummy ache.

ace

I do recommend bringing a supply of plastic bags, so that you can put everything you own inside a plastic bag inside your normal bag.

I had a bad experience when someone lobbed a pint and I went to put in a new tampon only to find they were all beer-soaked.

a week before or something? flush you right out

Because the answer is YES! YES THERE IS! See your GP about it.

get a pill from your GP that delays your period for a few days. I know this because a girl I did Duke of Edinburgh with took it as she didn't want her period whilst doing D of E . It seemed to work.
