Jump start period

Hiya mums, bit off topic but looking for period help- im due to get married mid July, but my period this month made a surprise 3 day early appearance which means im now due on for my wedding or the day before. I dont want to take the period stop tablets through fear of the mood swings as previously hormonal pills haven’t been kind to me. I want to get day 1/2 of my period out the way and i’ll be able to handle day 3 on the wedding day! Ive read hibiscus or parsley tea can make your period come a couple days earlier, has anyone got any experience or advice or other remedies? Looking to try and get a 24 day cycle, last month was 25 days and usually 28 days!? Is this even possible? SOS and sorry for the TMI

Why is my last name the price of marriage?

I’m looking for some outside perspectives on a situation in my longterm relationship.

My partner and I have been together, on and off, for 12 years and have lived together for the past 7 years. We've talked about marriage, but we've reached a disagreement that neither of us seems willing to budge on.

He has told me that he doesn't want to get married unless I take his last name. The problem is that I want to keep my maiden name as part of my identity. I’m the last person in my family line with my last name, and it means a lot to me. My preference would be to hyphenate our names so I can honor both my family and our marriage.

He feels strongly that a married couple should share his last name, while I feel strongly about keeping mine in some form.
I'm curious how others would view this. Is it reasonable for him to make taking his last name a condition of marriage? Is it reasonable for me to want to keep my maiden name through hyphenation? Would this be a red flag to you, or just a difference in values that couples sometimes have to work through?

I'd appreciate honest opinions and experiences from people who have dealt with similar situations.

Paternity??

Has anyone ever had doubts from the father of their child , no infidelity , just randomly requests a paternity test at the end or anytime during your pregnancy and starts treating you differently ? I’m giving him one but it makes me feel like have you had doubts this whole time ? Were those moments even real ? And just the uncomfortable feeling of him being in the room holding the baby he had doubts about :/ .
