Visit from Aunt Flo on my Wedding Day..

I'm also due to get mine on the wedding day. Normally i'm fine and have it so light and with no symptoms. However, I JUST got my IUD out so i'm hoping it doesn't mess with me toooo much.

Fingers crossed it all works out. Joys of being a woman!

I am using my birth control to delay my period so that I will have it this week and then 2 weeks after the wedding again.

My aunt was due to have hers on the wedding day so she started taking Midol about a week before the wedding and she said that on the day of she wasn't bloated or crampy at all when normally she is sick in bed from period cramps. She took an anti-inflammatory medication the day of as well just to top it off but that's it.

Hopefully it is late by a day or two or you can find a way around it, good luck!

This is my worst fear! My partner and I are both female so it may be x2 the amount of painkillers but you know what? I'm not going to let it stop me.

I started taking birth control for the intentions of skipping my period, you could also talk to you dr as they may be able give you other options.

I never thought I'd say I miss my periods before..but my periods before my son were a walk in the park compared to now lol our bodies can do wonderful things and also sucky things..balances out i suppose. Ill look into the teas! Thanks

Birth control ! Im on the pill and if my period lands on my wedding day I plan to skip my sugar pills and start a new pack right away to avoid my period all together

Oh man!!! That's honestly amazing haha! I have dealt with weird periods almost my whole life.

But I know what you mean, already dealing enough the day of don't want that uninvited guest as well!

Any chance you can go on the pill? I knew someone who use to do that just went on the pill a few months before and it helped them! Luckily mine cycle is due to end a day or 2 before the wedding!

Also don't want to stress you more but I have a friend who's period came A WEEK early and of course hit her wedding date... stress can make it come sooner, I've had mine come early too due to stress... and what's more stressful than a wedding! Haha! Yeah I worked mine out to happen the week before which might bite me but I'm hoping she leaves before the wedding!

I did this too since I'm on the pill too! My period is 1 week beforehand so I don't have to worry about my wedding and honeymoon!

I found going on the pill helped with a lot of my period symptoms as well as making my period more regular, you could talk to your doctor about using it short-term for this reason.

I'm due to get mine on my wedding day to

I'm not on hormonal birth control for medical reasons, but I use an app to track my cycles, so when we picked a date I chose one that should have been perfect. But I've been unwell over the last few months, struggling with iron deficiency, which has completely thrown everything off.

I'm terrified I'll have cramps and nausea and everything else. Crossing my fingers it's a day late, and I can worry about it after the wedding.

This was my biggest fear when picking a wedding date. I am on the pill, so it was a little easier for me to plan ahead for when my period is supposed to be. I printed out a calendar and highlighted the time that I was on my period and stayed away from those dates.

We also talked about me stopping the pill before our wedding day, but I was afraid of how my body would react to coming off the pill and periods being unpredictable.

I am on the pill- mine was due my wedding day so i recently double backed my pills to make sure it would come few weeks prior. I also had to change my allergy shots routine because of the side effects and was due week of wedding. I would suggest to do some pills back to back to change this

I just thought - if you are on the pill can't you kinda manipulate it to plan for your period? maybe go ask a doctor....

I haven't been on the pill in years but I vaguely remember that being a thing.. obviously you shouldn't make a habit of it.. but you can change when you start them to work around a vacation or an event.

This was a main concern and a big reason as to why I chose the date I did!! I have it planned out to avoid Aunt Flo but for me it's really easy as I'm on birth control - would that be a possibility for you in order to try and avoid her visit?

If not, you've still got hope that this time is either a day 26 by chance to get it done before or that it takes the 33 or longer right?

THIS IS MY FEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mine is a little unpredictable so even if to do the count... It's not for sure.. I will be cutting it real close.. good luck! fingers crossed for all of us !

Hi Holly!

So sorry that you're predicted to get your period on that day. There's still a ray of hope that you may not get it so don't fret yet. BUT, just in case you do, you could always:

1. pop a tylenol in the morning to ease the potential cramps. 2. Prep a "disposable sticky heat pack" on your belly. I used to get them at CVS in the USA, I think shoppers carries something similar in Canada. It's a peel and stick heating system that activates when it touches skin. It's supposed to keep warm for 8-10 hours.3. prep a baggy with candies (i find sugar helps), tampons, and if you've never tried before, period underwear and panty liners. I use these Period Undies and recommend them in the beige color since you'll be wearing a white dress.

Hope those suggestions are up your alley! And prayers for you that your period gets delayed!
