Ugh... sucks being a woman!

staycb01 · July 2012

Ok.... so annoyed with being a female. I'm supposed to get my period about a day or two before my 10/6 wedding. Ever since I had my appendix out in March my period shifted to coming arounf the 2nd, 3rd or 4th of the month which means I'll be due around my wedding date. I havent been on birth control in 3 years.... I'm hoping that the excitement\/stress of the wedding that month will shift my period a few days to a week before coming. ANyone else in the same boat? I'm totally annoyed that I'll more than likely have it for my wedding day but since I'm not on birth control, I can't really skip months I don't think?

I'm in the same boat. I'm going to get on birth control just to try to shift it. Stress can shift it, but I wouldn't count on it. That said, it isn't too late to go see a doctor to get back on birth control. You could either skip the sugar pills to skip an entire month, or just use the pills to change when your period is. I agree, it sucks, but there are much worse things that could happen. Stay positive!

I feel you. I was so scared of having it for the wedding I tried planning around it. Then I got the arm implant BC (I'm very limited in what I can use thanks to lupus), and now periods last for freakin' ever so looks like I'm gonna be

There's still a couple of months to go. It would change between now and then.

I am set to have mine about wedding day too

i also am not on BC and am not going to be (fiance is fixed lol) so i am not sure what to do

Ugh I know it's tough!! My period is not going to change as its been regular in coming the 2-4th of every month so unless my body is going to go out of whack (which is fine by me) the month of our wedding, I can pretty much count on it as it doesnt just suddenly change unfortunatley

Ladies, you can try taking B6 to push back when your period starts. It's supposed to help with lengthening your luteal phase (the last part of your cycle, after ovulation.) and could *Maybe* help. I have been on 100mg of B6 since May 26th and it has actually lengthened my cycle by a full 2 days.

I *should* be ok. I had never been regular until I had a D&C after my miscarriage 3 years ago. I'm due around the 7th and the wedding is not til the 26th. I could possibly run into a problem on the honeymoon, but ususally when I travel, I'm thrown off a little. Oh boy, now that I think of it...I will no doubt have nasty PMS symptoms, made worse by the heat in Puerto Rico!

Thank goodness for BC!! I'm set to get mine the Tuesday before my 10/27 wedding. I'm just going to skip the sugar pills and start a new pack.

Stress might make you skip it all together, but I'd look online for natural ways to avoid too (like PP said B6 might help too)
