How to stop menstrual bleeding temporarily?

You can't stop your period.

you can for a few hours by douching with ICE COLD water. Ever gone swimming and you stop bleeding for a bit? Same thing. But a few days? Asking for trouble. Once it starts, you cant STOP it, only put it on hold for a few hours. Everyone's body is different, what works for me, may not for u.

What does strict in laws have to do with stopping your menstrual cycle did I miss something here? Are they so strict that they will not even allow you have natural functions out of your control? If so, run and run far!

you cant really stop it, but you can delay it by drinking lots and lots of ice water and cold stuff, just make sure you dont take in too much....it may be painful afterward though =)
