There’s not really any way to shorten or delay a period but if you’re on birth control pills you can usually altogether skip it if you skip the placebo week

There are pills you can be prescribed (on wisp telehealth) called norethindrone acetate but it’s best if you start taking them three days before you expect your period If you already have your period, I have had success by (i don’t recommend this, but it didn’t kill me and the sex was worth it) drinking water (and lots of it) and not eating starting 48 hours before you need your period to stop, and also a combination of emergen-c, 2 ibuprofen, and one combination birth control pill twice a day

Don’t use tampons as they can prolong ur period, wear pads whenever you can. Get in the shower and pleasure urself, this makes ur uterus do weird sciencey stuff and speeds up the bleeding and shedding time. Hydrate a ton and keep ur area clean.

If you starve yourself to stop your period though, do know that it will likely return as soon as you start eating again, but you will have a weird next couple cycles as it evens out again

This in my opinion is better than birth control or pills (only bc I don’t agree with that kinda stuff)
