TMI... but period worry anyone?!

lol i was thinking whats a wede!!

i try to avoid the docs as much as poss!! when i hadn't had one for 7 weeks he told me if he was a girl he'd be happy!! so i was like oh ok then as i thought you had to have one every 4 weeks!

i was planning after the wedding just to come off of them..........

I'm not supposed to take the pill as I suffer from migranes but as I haven't had one for around 3 years the doctor has allowed me to go on the pill for a few months on the understanding I stop if I start to get headaches. I just didn't want to be worrying about my period on my hen night and hen weekend, the wedding day and the honeymoon.

I came off the pill last year to get ready for sprogs.  My periods are still a bit erratic but I don't want to take anything to stop them as it's taking me a while to settle down so i'm gonna have to lump it if it comes on the day.  And take pletny of drugs!

nonethisterone!!! Thats what its called! Just checked it, im tracking mine atm, and have realised I have mine every 25 days like clockwork!

Gillsy:

I'm on the pill so not a worry of mine but even if you went back on the pill just now it can take your body a bit of time to settle into a routine?!?!

 

You might be best just to see what happens and if it does I guess its not the end of the world, wouldn't be ideal thats for sure but I suppose worse things could happen on your big day??

 

Im same as u gillsy...and il run the 2 packets thru if needs be!!

Yup - I came off the pill when I was 20 and mine have never been as regular since so I'm really reluctant to go on anything else...I'm really hoping that I won't have it on the day - but I guess if I do I just have to lump it. I'm also hoping I won't be on the week before as my stomach goes MASSIVE the week before I come on and I don't know I'll fit in the dress!

I'm on the pill. Sat at work the other week and worked my dates out, and im due on 2 weeks before, so i start the pill again the week before!! Very very lucky!!

I've tried var water balancing things - nothing does it. I'm still always surprised a couple of days after I start how (relatively!) flat my stomach is. O/T did you find a makeup artist yet?

As long as your periods are always at least 3-4 weeks apart even if they are sometimes longer apart, taking Norethisterone will be fine. Instead of taking it the month of your wedding though, I would take it the month before. So if you are due around the 1st of the month and getting married the 1st of June. I would start the Norethisterone around the 25th of April and stop taking it the 15th of May. Your period will then be approx 17th May- 22nd May, which means your next should start approx 15th June (when you are back from honeymoon).

I wouldn't take it for the first time around your wedding day, as it can give you prolonged PMT ie 3 weeks of water retention, bad moods spots etc and you would need to remember it 3 times a day on your wedding day and on honeymoon, whereas it is much easier to manage that the month before the wedding. It shouldn't make your periods more erratic and isn't a contraceptive, so shouldn't affect ability to conceive, even if you want a honeymoon baby.

yes, yay! found someone down near gatwick and am having a trial on saturday so fingers crossed she'll be good. still pretty pricey but have resigned myself to the fact that i've got no choice! xx

as for bloating - nothing really works for me but i find it really difficult to digest white rice or white bread around that time so keep away from most carbs n that seems to help a bit? of course drape myself in layers of baggy clothing so no one will begin to think i am 3 months pregnant!!x

Let me know how you get on - I still haven't booked mine. Saw a girl advertised on the suppliers on here, at 30 for trial and 60 for on the day, but what happens if she's sick on the day or whatever?? I think the other option is the "absolutely beautiful" people little jen from on here used.

Cant say i'm worried about this problem but talk to your doc, they will sort you out xxx

I'm on the pill so I will be doubling up to stop anything happening.  The magic pill that makes you not have AF is fab although after you stop taking you will be in pain and mega heavy (well I was, so were my friends!) so keep taking them until you're ready for it! Worth it though.
