Today, I realized that without fail, even if I'm not supposed to get it, I get my period just in time for vacations. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a month into exercising for the first time in years to get summer body for vacation, the sudden exertion pushed back my period. If I'd sat on my ass, my period would have been on time this month, and over next month before my vacation started. I was really looking forward to period-free vacation. Not anymore. FML
Today, I was showing the guy I like something on my phone. My period tracking app decided it was the perfect time to tell me that I need to stock up on tampons, because I'm getting my period tomorrow. FML
Today, I woke up to realize I got my period a week early. The day of the after-wedding brunch. In a sort of remote area. Without pads or tampons. I need to be at the breakfast in a half-hour. FML
Today, I got my period. 10 minutes into a 3 hour exam. Apparently they are serious when they say you may not leave the room under any circumstances. FML
Today, it's the first day of a long-needed vacation after weeks of stress and overtime. I'm having such intense period cramps, I'm bathed in sweat. FML
Today, while writing a midterm, my period came unexpectedly. Too bad my male professor was the one to notice and not me. FML
Today, I realized that without my birth control pills, I would have no idea what day it is. FML
Today, I'm apparently so desperate for companionship that my body has subconsciously synced my period with the girl who works in the cubicle adjacent to mine. FML
Today, I got my period early. While traveling. For a funeral. I had to walk through two entire airport terminals to find a shop that had any period products, and the only option was an $18 box of tampons. Six tampons, to be precise. FML
Today, I woke up with a hangover, a shaved head, and my period. FML

Being a female is amazing because your uterus automatically senses when the worst possible time to get a period arises...shame on you for not giving it a baby OP!! In all seriousness, they can come early/late due to stress or changes in diet and vacations usually have both :/ I hope you came prepared anyway even though it's an inconvenience

Mine seems to sense when a wedding is about to happen, even for my own. It's hard to think of love and blissful happiness when your uterus is trying to eat itself.

Just get yourself a menstrual cup. Since I switched from tampons I haven't had cramps and you can wear a cup for 12 hours at a time. It's made my period so much more manageable.

The stress/excitement of your holiday could delay it and then when you relax (because holiday) it decides to come. Sucks but it's true :/

If I get mine early, since I'm leaving for vacation in 3 days, I'm going to blame you for cursing me, OP. In any case, that sucks, and I'm sorry you're dealing with that inconvenience.

Try birth control. I'm on Seasonique and I will induce my period the week before vacation if I'm due to have it ON vacation. Another plus side is I only get my period 4 times a year! I make sure to always induce my period a week before big events like vacations and weddings.

When I was on the pill, I did the same thing. It was great! I knew for sure that I wasn't going to get my period on my wedding day (or anywhere even close to it!).

Mirena has all but stopped mine after 2 years. light spotting, just need a panty liner, for a few days every few months! And mine were always long and heavy. its not for everyone but has been great for me.
