Any lady here ever used parsley to bring on late menses?

No.

Sounds ridiculous to me.

If you’re late you are pregnant, having some sort of hormonal
shift, PCOS (seemingly linked to sugar problems) starting menopause, or possibly under incredible stress (I think stress is actually rarely the direct problem).

That’s my non medical opinion.

If your pregnant, parsley won’t make you abort and the republican party would’ve banned parsley long ago.
So if its not that, then a late menses was never a bad thing. I preferred it to early or on time. But as @JLeslie mentioned, it can be for a number of reasons.
Now if you are trying to get it to come on time because you are afraid of screwing up some vacation plans than you can try these methods.
Work outside in the hot sun. I know I always hated doing that. It never failed that it would bring about my cycle a day or two early. It would also give me the worse cramps and make the cycle heavier than normal. I always hated 4th of July gatherings outdoors. I never failed to get my cycle. Could be just a coincidence that seemed to happen every year for over 20 years. But at a certain point I had to find it extremely suspicious.

^^Being late can be a bad thing, why do you say it never is? It can indicate an abnormal hormonal shift, PCOS, early onset menopause if it is a young person. None of those are good. I wouldn’t be in any state if panic for a few days late or even an odd month or two, but delayed or nonexistent menses for months in a row should be evaluated. Although, many doctors just throw BC pills at it and don’t really evaluate the patient or try to find an underlying cause.

Yes, it’s the hormonal shift that is worrying me. As for menopause, well, why not? It seems perimenopause is perfectly normal anywhere between 35–45, so yes, that is another thing to consider. I don’t buy into the stress explanation.

@JLeslie It can be if the person is extremely late. But I’ve known people who had cycles that were never on time who were perfectly healthy. I was pretty regular, about 99 percent of the time but when I was late, it was often do to stress or because I was sick and even dieting and exercising can throw your schedule off. There is no need to panic every time. I would assume if @ZEPHYRA would see a doctor. I also had plenty of doctors tell me in the past that being a few days late here and there is no big deal and I did not need to worry everytime. . Especially during Perimenopause.
@ZEPHYRA , Stress can kill and make you sick, so why don’t you think it can upset your hormonal balance?

Never on time is different than it being a new thing. Even still, always very erratic is a sign of a problem usually. I’m not talking about people who have regular 32 day cycles, I mean people who skip three months then have a period, that sort of thing. They likely have PCOS.

@Pandora I agree with what you say about stress, but I doubt it is the stress directly. When you tick away like clockwork and suddenly things change from one day to another. I know that it is perimenopause time but a direct shutdown?

I’ll share my story on the chance it might be useful.

I am 47 and in December (I was still 46 then) I had a period and not another until April. I have always been regular even through incredible stress, although the last two years my periods have been closer together. Ages 12–44 I was every month 26 or 28 days and then I went to sometimes being every 24 days in my mid 40’s, but still at time hitting the 26 even 28 day cycle, but rarely in the last few years. My periods became a day shorter and then two days-ish shorter.

My mom, when she was approaching menopause, missed her period for 9 months, had one more, and then never again. I thought maybe I would be similar to her, but I actually had a period both in April and May. We’ll see what happens going forward. I’m a little younger than I expected to actually stop my period in total, but it’s hard to predict. I have not had any hot flashes.

I wonder if intercourse might trip it? I know it threw me into labor that same night, both times. :D And my husband later yelled, “You just used me!” I thought back on all the times I didn’t want to have sex but gave in anyway.
