  Welcome! Some fears are normal. I started my period at our rehearsal dinner, so...yeah. Bummer. You just have to let that kind of stuff go.

  What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

  If these are your two main worries then I'd schedule an appointment with your doctor because you can actually do something about both of those things. If you get cold sores frequently then there are lifestyle changes and medications that make an outbreak less likely. You can also "re-time" your period with birth control pills if you really want to. But otherwise I agree with AddieCake... it's good to just let it go. It will be an amazing day, and at the end of it you'll be married and who cares about the rest!

  Ditto the advice that PPs gave.  Also, hello and welcome.

  Welcome!

  
  

  I had the exact same fears as you. I don't take HBC and wasn't interested in doing so. I just had to hope for the best. Luckily, my period came a week early for some reason. My second concern was a cold sore. I should've gone to see the doctor and didn't. I got a cold sore the day after the wedding. 

  
  

  The best thing to do about both of these concerns is speak with your doctor because like a PP said, they can hopefully be avoided.

  redheadbride15, and also agree that you need to let the little things go. I forgot some details on my wedding, and even forgot my fancy underwear that I had made a special trip to go buy specifically to wear under my dress. So I went commando (which actually made it way easier to pee). Some little things will go wrong, but the day will still be great. 

  
  

  And: Hi & welcome!

  Hello, 

  
  

  I'm planning an October wedding and I read a lot of the advice posted on here. I never really post because I have not had anything big to ask. But the past few nights I've been waking up about 4am thinking of things to do for the wedding. I think I'm starting to stress about the big day. Did this happen to anyone? 

  
  

  Two of my biggest worries are getting either a cold sore or my period on my wedding day. Mostly the fact that I can't do anything about this

  
  

  Anyway, just wanted to say hello to everyone!

  
  

  
  

  EFFIN' BOXES!

  
  

  
  

  Welcome!

  
  

  I lost a lot of sleep during the earlier planning process. But once all of the big things were taken care of, I stopped worrying so much. But I do know how that feels.

  
  

  I'm due to get my period on my wedding day. My sister is a PA and told me that I could skip the placebo pills in my birth control to change my period, but I'd rather not risk messing something up (and potentially getting pregnant) or having constant spotting during the honeymoon. So yeah, I'm just going to suck it up. I think I'm more pissed about having my period for the first few days of my honeymoon than on my wedding night!

  
  

  Happy planning!

  FWIW I've done that a few times while on camping trips and didn't experience any negative side affects.  I did go ahead and do the placebos the following week though, so I still had my period... basically it was like 5 weeks between periods, but only 3 between the next.

  This is awesome, I have been thinking of buying fancy underwear but why not save the money and just not wear any!?

  Commando is definitely an option on your wedding day. I did it! I couldn't find underwear that didn't leave some sort of panty line somewhere that I wasn't happy with, but when I tried on my dress without anything it always fit perfectly! Plus I think telling my groom that I wasn't wearing anything under the wedding dress added some... um, romance... to the evening

  These are two things I worried about too! I only get a cold sore once every few years, but heat and stress are two things that can cause mine, so I was slightly concerned... Luckily that didn't actually happen, but I do have advice for preventing cold sores: If you start to feel that telltale tingle or numbness that happens before a cold sore, start taking a high dose of Lysine - like, 600mg 3x a day, until the tingling stops. If you do it before there are any visible signs of a cold sore, you can actually prevent it.

  
  

  Here's more info on Lysine from WebMD: http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-237-lysine.aspx?activeingredientid=237&activeingredientname=lysine

  
  

  But as other posters have said, don't spend your time worrying about these things!
