Setting a date and your period

Ashley, on October 7, 2018 at 3:56 PM Posted in Fitness and Health 0 10
I just recently got engaged and have started planning. I am so excited!!! We have set our date for March 28th, 2020 due to Financial reasons. I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience. I have been plagued by extremely heavy cycles since I had my daughter almost 8 years ago. It wasn't until after we set our date that I realized I may have to change my date because my cycle comes on the 22 of every month and lasts for at least 8 days. I have regular ultrasounds and I don't have fibroids, it's just heavy. Has anyone else had to consider this? If so, what did you do?

    Birth control helps you pick which day your period starts!

    I use the pill to manipulate my periods, I only get 4 a year now. I'd talk to your doc about it!

    I calculated best weeks based on my period. I just counted it out. I have PMDD so I wanted to make sure I didn't schedule the week before my period as I am a wreck that week. It limited my options a bit, but it worked out for us. As you get a little closer, if you are still worried, you can talk to your doctor.

    There are numerous ways to alter your period date. You can skip the placebo pills if you take the pill, there are other options that only give you a period a couple times a year, etc. I would speak to your GYN and see what options they feel are best for you and your health.

    Second this. Although, I stopped skipping my periods because it really thinned my lining and every now and then would give me insane 2 week periods. But I do still play around with the dates and will be doing so for my wedding so I can make sure I dont have it for the weekend or the honeymoon a week later.

    Lol I have thought about our date and my period. I really hope it doesn't start around that time but knowing my luck it would. My periods are too irregular to try and count that far in advance lol. This especially would suck since my fiancé and I have been waiting for marriage. But there isn't much that can be done besides birth control like other posters have said. I would recommend talking to a doctor but otherwise not worry too much about it since its something you can't exactly control. If it happens it happens, it may suck, but your wedding will still be an amazing day. Thats what I tell myself anyways.

    OMG! I thought I was the only one who worried about this! I haven’t picked a date yet but I wouldn’t want to be on it at my wedding. I’m usually regular but 2020 is so far from now that I don’t know.. #femaleproblems

    I’m in the same boat we plan on getting married on May 16, 2020 but I told our venue coordinator that the date might change. I just don’t want to be bothered with my period on our big day. I plan on waiting until May of next year to solidify the day lol lucky for us the venue only books 5 weddings per year (it’s a personal estate) so we can change the date at anytime.
