The downside of planning your period around your wedding...

Hugs sent your way! (we have the same wedding date and that is what I did - I am having mine this week too)

Wooosahhh. Take a deep breath. Everything will be ok, you are probably nervous and anxious and your body is reacting. I'm hoping and praying that aunt flow does not show up on my wedding day and honeymoon. Good luck! :-)

Ha I did the same thing as well. I think we have the same story. My face last week was a zitty mess and I have the remains of one still. DH got me into my dress after I picked it up from the cleaners and he put me in it and since I gained 10 lbs since the first wedding, it was not working and I started crying.

I'm so glad I realized mine was going to be wedding day/honeymoon timing 9 months ahead. I doubled up my BC packs last month just to make it a week ahead (and give myself time to figure something out if it didn't work) and was EXACTLY the same. FH made fun of me a lot.

@Kelli thanks haha. I'm just feeling extra whiney

@A that's exactly it! I was trying to explain to FH this morning how the more stressed I am or the more I think about it, the worse it gets. When he and I first started dating, my period was a couple of days late and I got so stressed about it that it ended up coming TWO WEEKS late. Ugh.

@Kathryn we are basically the same person.

@FUtureMrsDrF I was trying to explain it all to FH this morning and he was just laughing at me. Not in a mean way, just a "you are being so ridiculous way". Which is true.

The joys of being a woman

ETA: If you like Key & Peele you should watch this skit, I think it's hysterical! "What if we told y'all that once a month, half of the human race is pain, and the other half doesn't want to hear about it?"

Aw Kelly! I'm so sorry. Big hugs--you're so close.

I'm glad someone else posted this because this is obviously a thought of every woman. In the end, what can you do?

Take some deep breaths Hun it with be over soon (the stress that is). Hug's coming your way.

Haha @Ragamuff exactly. There's nothing I can do but ride it out. And whine about it on WeddingWire apparently.

Like you said, stress can mess with your period too! Try to take some deep breaths and take time to relax Easier said than done though haha

Take a bubble bath with a glass of wine. (OK, maybe a bottle of wine). Make FH give you a massage and bask in the glory of getting married in a week!!!!

When on my period, I swear I can't make decisions. Like I stare at the McDonald's menu and can't decide what to get even though they have had the same stuff for years LOL. My FH always laughs about my decision making skills once a month. Well, this is the week of inability to make decisions and it doesn't go well with wedding planning LOL. Thank goodness all our stuff is done!

We are data twins and I am in a very similar situation. I was supposed to get mine last week which would have been perfectly find but with all of the wedding stress I guess, it came a week late. My face is breaking out and this week I have been pretty miserable. But next week is a new week and we will both not have our periods and hopefully have nice clear faces for our weddings. Breathe and whine on WW, because why not?! Hahaha enjoy your day!

Oh crap I just calculated and I'm totally going to get my period that week! I've never done it before but I've heard it's safe to just start the new pack instead of taking the placebo. Has anyone done this before? And I'm so sorry Kelly! It will all be worth it in the end!

That sucks...hopefully all this passes by the time your wedding comes around.

I had my period on my wedding day, but i warned DH that i was going to have it. I also told him that it doesn't matter because we're consummating this marriage on our wedding night no matter what!

@FutureMrsG Yes date twin! Thanks for commiserating with me haha. I'm taking comfort in knowing that normally the week after my period my skin is practically glowing and I feel thinner than ever, so I'm hoping next week is no exception! No pain, no gain, I guess...

@Kmess - that's exactly what I did. I've done it once or twice in the past to avoid getting my period on vacations, but I definitely try not to do it unless I really need to. Just skip the placebo week and start the new pack instead. Maybe check with your doctor first if you're worried about it, but I've never had a problem!
