  Why are people just telling you to hope you're so stressed out that it moves on its own?  Unhelpful, people. Yes, six months is enough time for it to shift naturally, but it's ALSO enough time to get on a pill and get acclimated to it, or to decide it's not for you and stop it without any ill effects. You might have some of those crazy side-effects people talk about, but you also might not. The pill is awesome for a number of other reasons too, the most obvious of which being condom-free sex with the new husband! I've been on Yaz for nearly 5 years now and, since it's a constant hormone level over the whole month, I've rescheduled inconvenient periods with no problem whatsoever. It has also changed my formerly horrible, debilitating periods into almost non-events, AND I didn't have any loss of libido, crazy mood swings, or weight gain getting on it. Plus, no babies. You can't lose.

  Hey! I'm late to the party, but I just have to say, that I don't really care. We just put a towel down (a dark colored one).

  This! If you read the OP you'll will see she went off the pill for a reason. And in 6 months I would not chance starting on new BP, just to have it maybe be worse then the last one and be back to square one.
  
  If she doesnt want to be on the pill, I would just say take your chances and know there may be a chance you will start.
  
  For myself I counted my period for years and was usually spot on that was until my wedding. ;)

  You're just as helpful.
  
  The bolded part?  Yaz was a fucking NIGHTMARE for me.  Yup, it helped my PMS/PMDD.  You know how?  By turning me into a raging bitch ALL the time so I just didn't notice if it was worse around my period.  I also spotted for 2-3 weeks out of every month, became depressed,  and it made my migraines worse.
  
  There's no such thing as a magical birth control pill that works great for everyone.  OP said she's tried pills.  I'm willing to assume that means she's tried more than one, she's worked with her doctor, and she's made the decision it's not for her.  Suggesting a pill, then, is asinine, and leads me to assume you're not the brightest bulb in the house.

  
  
  Everything the light touches is my kingdom.

  Um, because mine did.  That's why I told her that.  Your "advice" sounds like an ad for Yaz.

  My FI and I are celibate, so if my period ends up coming during our honeymoon, I really might cut my wrists, lol.  Seriously though, mine came when I got married the first time and it really wasn't a big deal, we just did that kind of celebrating later.  You really do have the rest of your lives for that, just enjoy the time you get to spend together.
  
  
  ETA:  Different pills will affect you in different ways, so there might be a low hormone pill, one that's just one steady dose throughout the month instead of going up and down as some do.
