weird question

jessi3617

I read somewhere that you can go to your doctors and get a pill that will stop your period?? Just for the wedding though does anybody kno anything about these?? Thanks have a great day

LingerLonger1

Yes!  It's called the Magic Period Pill.  That's the official name.  Just call up your doctor and ask.

Depends on what you want. Talk to your MD, they'll be able to recommend something for you better than we can.

Uhhh...go on birth control for a couple of months?  But that requires a prescription, so you'll have to call your doctor anyway.

Birth control.

jessi3617

Thanks ladies. I don't want to go on birth control bc I just got off it about a year ago. We wanted a baby. But thanks I when I read it I just didn't know if it was really birth control or if it was something else.

You do understand the purpose of a period right?

You can go on birth control temporarily to make sure you're not on your period while wedding/honeymooning and then quit before the wedding, you can wait until you're fertile after stopping BC after the time of the wedding, or you can deal with being on your period. PS just because you wanted a baby doesn't mean you can't temporarily go on BC now. I guess you have to decide what's most important: getting KUed ASAP or not bleeding on your wedding day. I'd advise against making any decisions close to the wedding. I went on BC after being off of it and didn't know my breasts would balloon up a cup size. Or that after I quit BC they would stay. It caused a wardrobe problem.

Too early for this kind of *insensitive rude word* this morning.

jessi3617

Right. Didn't think of that. But could go on the pill a couple months. I was on the shot for 7 yrs and it took my period completely away. But maybe go on the pill in jan? That's a couple months before. Like I said I just didn't know if it was the same.

Yeah, that's about all the casual advice you can get. From here, you can talk to the OB/Gyn and make an informed (or not) decision based on the options he or she gives you or what they recommend based on your history.

I can't write prescriptions, but I know a guy who says he gets all his meds in Mexico. That sounds totally safe and legal.

Really.  Words have meaning.  Words reflect the person.  Your "outrage" speaks volumes.

I've seen every single episode of House so I'm pretty much licensed also..

But in all seriousness I went off of my pill a year+ ago and would pray for a period. When I got regular I started tracking my ovulation and period so you know when its coming. You're far enough away that you shouldn't be looking to totally halt your period. Just start tracking it and maybe it'll all line up for you.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: weird question : Sorry, but no.  That phrase IS offensive, and while you know I love you km, calling you ignorant and thoughtless is NOT using someone else's differences as an insult.  That's like saying calling someone insensitive who uses the F word is just as bad as using the F word.  One is a derogatory slur and a personal attack.  The other may a harsh opinion, but it's not the same by any stretch. Apples and Mac trucks, baby.

Unless you want to be busting out of your wedding dress with boobage or other side affects. Make an appointment.

ETA: you could also get knocked up. I hear that stops your period.

I was going to suggest this. OP said she wanted a baby, so my thought is just keep trying. If you get pregnant, no period.

All I'm saying is that if girlfriend is planning on having a kid any time soon then BC might not be the best fix to not wanting your period on your wedding day, given the issues some people have with coming off of it and trying to conceive.  It's not the end of the world to not consummate your marriage on your wedding night and I'm sure she won't be the first person to get her period on her wedding day.

I'm biased because I had a hell of a time getting regular and wouldn't wish that on anyone who wants to get pregnant.
