I have often wondered how providers deal with that problem.

As a solution I have known some women who use birth control to simply skip over the 7 placebo pills.  The result is absolutely no visit from "Aunt Flo".

Interestingly, there is a company attempting to limit the "monthy curse" to the "quarterly curse" by employing the same method. Link Attached (hopefully)

about your monthly visitor.  We know enough about the female body to know it is hard to predict exactly when "Aunt Flo" decides to drop in. But shouldnt you know within 2-3 days either way before confirming an appointment and steer away from seeing us that week? We pay big bucks to be with a lady and every gent wants their money worth. Personally, I thank a lady for the heads up and an opportunity to reschedule with her.   I want her at her peak performance. I realize of course out of town visitors who plan far in advance may not have that luxury.

It would be GOOD to hear how the other providers deal with AUNT FLO.

... no matter what approach you choose to deal with this problem.
The mention of the Depo injection(Depo-provera) on the thread you started on the National board may be an option.

You are a bright and informed woman and I'm sure you know that there are potential side effects and risks associated with most any medication. These risks can be more pronounced depending on your general state of health and lifestyle habits such as smoking or use of alcohol, and any family or personal history of disease such as breast or cervical cancer.

My guess is that Depo-provera is relatively safe, but as with something such as this consultation with your doctor or a practitioner at Planned Parenthood etc. is called for, and I'm sure this requires a prescription.

Here are a couple of links to sites that give general information
and answer some questions about Depo-provera.

One is a site for teen women's health issues but I'm sure you won't mind since you are such a KID at heart

There are also dietary issues to consider with this medication, especially if you have a predisposition to or family history of osteoporosis

As for how to deal with your clients if this problem arises after setting something up I think in part you have answered your own question. There have been some other options mentioned here and on the National board.
I think in part it is one of those things that has to be handled on a case by case basis. Of course one of the key things is communication, as timely as possible. I think it will depend in part on how high DATY is on the menu with respect to the guy. It's a pretty high priority with me but others may be less interested, in which case a work around is more probable.

Having read many of your reviews you have a knack for making such work arounds way FUN. I for one could make an exception to DATY just to experience how fun and creative you can be Jenni.

Yes this is a nice community.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, take care of yourself.

Now I'm off to DC for a little R&R. If I happen to encounter "bush" it won't be dubya that's for sure, LOL

I think that your health and comfort is paramount in this situation. With your outstanding reputation only true gentleman should be allowed to be in your presence and therefore be gracious and understanding of your condition at the time. Only you can make the decision whether or not to receive visitors when this occurs. "Listen to your body" and you will know. On a personal basis it doesn't bother me, I have my "Wings" and have no problem being on a couple of soft cotton towels with a beautiful lady as long as she isn't in any discomfort. Best of luck on your decisions.
