sorry to give the wrong impression...i am not worried about having my period i just dont want to feel crappy for our a week of our 2 week honeymoon. when i get my period the cramps can be pretty bad so i want to try to miss them if at all possible without having a chance at getting pregnant!

Don't take the "sugar pills". These are the period pills. Take the three blue pills that you have left, throw away that pack (don't worry about the other pills), and start a new pack. I've done this before for special events. Congrats on the wedding and I hope you have a great honeymoon!!

Just start the next pack when instead of doing the last weeks worth of pills. I wasn't on any birth control right before I got married and I started my period that very day! So I got the pills and took two of them that morning to stop it and it worked. I also traveled a lot in Asia for a few months and the entire time I only took the first three weeks worth of the pill pack so that I would never get my period the whole time I was there. My Doctor told me to.

Skip to your next set of hormone pills. It will only prevent your period this month, as long as you follow your normal schedule next month. I know several people who have done so for vacations, etc, and everything is fine, as long as it doesn't become a habit.
YES, just skip the sugar pills and go straight to your next pack. You will not get a period this month. You won't be off the pills. When you take your last hormone pill, instead of starting the sugar pills, throw them away and start your new pack!!!!!
The sugar pills don't actually DO anything. They are just there to keep you in the habit of taking a pill daily so you don't forget to take them when it's time to start up again, that is all.

Skip the sugar pills and move on to a new pack of pills and start them just like you would once your period is over, except you're doing when your period is about to start. Then you can continue through the new pack of pills and just start your period at the end of those. I did this once and it worked, but the second time I did it it didn't work. There is no guarantee, but from what I've heard it works for most women. For my wedding, I scheduled the date around my period...lol.

If you haven't started your sugar pills DON"T take them. Start a new pack of pills. You'll skip your period for the month. It's not harmful to your body if you do this once in a while. If you think about it, women on the pill have the control over their cycle.

I'm sorry honey, but I don't see where there is going to be a problem with you having your period on your HONEYMOON! You have two weeks to spend with your NEW HUSBAND! A period should not cause a problem. He should understand the situation! Besides it is only going to last for a little while, I sure hope you don't have yours for two weeks straight!!!!! And any way, having sex with him might be delayed for a little while, BUT THE FUN OF MAKING LOVE WITH HIM IN OTHER WAYS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE!!!!!
LOL!!!!!!
GOOD LUCK,
AND
CONGRATULATIONS,
ON YOUR WEDDING!!!!

SweetPea is correct but do this ONLY after talking to your Dr. There are some birthcontrol & doses that you CANNOT DO this with.
