My cycle will be on my wedding day...no...

Do you take Birth control, sometimes the pill can alter your cycles time if you take it in advance. I know someone asked this before and there is some kind of tea that causes you to have it, which inturn means you can control when it will happen. I just don't remember what it was.

I am hoping for a mirical because I talked to the doctor about this already! We are off of the pill because we want to get pregnant RIGHT after the wedding, so it really sucks. I am right there with you.

Be super stressed out lol Seems to hold off MN

White dress and your period just dosent seem to good to me! Are you on birth control or no? And maybe you will be so stressed out about the wedding that it will choose to be late for you???

I Found this, not sure how true it is, but people say it really works. Enduce early so that you don't have it at the wrong time.

"Generally Parsley tea is considered to be the most effective as a mild emmenagogue as it relaxes the cervix to allow release of menstrual material. Fresh herbs are best – water should be placed into a pan and allowed to boil, and then bring the water down to a simmer adding a handful or two of chopped parsley, allow to steep for approximately half an hour. The tea is then strained and honey can be added for a better taste. If using fresh herbs seems too much of a fuss parsley tea bags are readily available, however it should be made with warm, not boiling water as boiling water will result in the parsley loosing some of it’s potency - although if using dried herbs it is important to get as fresh as possible. Tea should be drunk four times a day, and will usually induce a period quite fast."

If you're not on birth control, get on it now, then take it continuously the month of your wedding. that's really your only option, and it might still cause spotting.

My dress is ivory, no im not on birth control. im going to try both...and in 7 months..let's hope it works! :-)

I found that I would have been on my period for my wedding as well cus I take birth control but I actually stopped for a month and then got back on so that it would alter my weeks....I still have a while but according to my plans I will not be on my period the week before or the week after my wedding.

Thanks for posting Jeanette, I'm worried about this as well and DO NOT want to be on any hormones, so I am off the pill for good. It isn't good to be on the pill when you are over 35 AND I'm just not into putting all that into my system anyway.

Going to have to save this thread for then, don't want my monthly visitor during my wedding cruise!

I would say test run it to make sure it works for you before your wedding.

You need hormones. BP pills. You can get the ones where you only have a period once every four months. Start them July or August. Or be like me, don't take the inactive your BP pack. Like Jeanette said, some brands/combinations cause more spotting for some women than others. You need time to experiment.

I went off BC and guess what...cycle on the first day of my honeymoon lol. At least it waited until after the wedding day/night. We were gone a week so the last few days was ok but otherwise we kept too busy.

@ Didi...other than hormones, I'm not sure what will prevent a cycle so you just better yell at mother nature till its closer lol

I take BC straight (i never take the inactive pills) so dont pay more money for the ones that claim they are special for only having your period once every 4mo, all BC can do that. the ones that DO NOT HAVE TRI LEVELS OF HORMONES have a less of a chance of spotting.

Mines not even regular enough to figure this out, and I'm only 2.5 months away! Bah!! If it ends up close I'll try the parsley thing!!

If you talk to your doctor they have things to give you to stop it. The doctor may put u on a low dose birth control maybe a month or two before your big date that way you have more control of when it will start or finish.

Strange suggestion but I know from my experience that spermicide tends to throw off my periods by at least two weeks but you have to be extremely careful because the chemical that actually kills the sperm can lower your immune system down there. That isn't always the case apparently it depends on the person but, I just thought I would through that out there

@Whitney, that happened to me when i was using spermicide condoms!! its one of the main reasons i went on BC

I started the Pill in December specifically for this reason. According to my tracking, I would have been fine. But I didn't want to take any chances. I just go straight through the active pills and on to the next pack. Now I spot only when I forget to take the pills for a few days (I forgot for 3 days straight and started spotting). I plan to go off right after the wedding. I don't like pumping my body with hormones and I'm not concerned with pregnancy prevention anyway.

Definitely talk to your doctor ASAP. 7 months should be more than enough time to get your period to stop, but if you have an adverse reaction to the hormones (my sister bled for 2 months straight while on the pill), you'll want the extra time to correct it.

I track mine as well. And last month it showed I would start on my wedding day. Mind you I chose the date because I didn't think I would be on. I didn't get worried because as regular as I am, I'm hoping she'll jump back up to the first of the month. For the last 4 years I've had my period on my birthday, October 3rd. So I hope aunt flow will stick to tradition. And this month she's back to the beginning.

I've also heard about the parsley tea!! You dont lose anything trying it out!! Good Luck :-)
