I've always thought that for my wedding, it would be hard to plan it so that I don't have my period on those few days! But when you set the wedding day so far in advance, how can you prevent that from happening? I think it would be awful if I had my period on that day, since I am saving sex for marriage and my wedding night would be ruined!

Talk to your OB/GYN. Best thing to do is get birth control pills. Around the time of your wedding, continue to take the active pills. After finishing the 3rd week of active pills, open a fresh pack and keep taking more active pills. Do not take the 4th week placebos because this will cause you to get your period. This is what I did for my wedding and it worked out great.
Also, don't get too hyped about the wedding night sex. Most people are so exhausted from the wedding ceremony and flying out to the honeymoon destination that all they want to do it sleep!

No, I did not worry about this... I think I did end up having a period over the weekend we got married, but it's not like anyone noticed. Being that we weren't "saving" anything for the "wedding night", it wasn't an issue. It's easy to plan ahead regarding your period if you are on the pill - your period is like clockwork, and you can look at the calendar, and plan months in advance. True, if you're not taking contraceptives, the it may be unpredictable.

Well, you can go in the pill...
but the stress from the wedding causes a lot of women to not have a period the whole time and then it comes the night, or day, after the wedding.
I think that the only way you can be sure is to go on the pill :(

Yeah i have thought about it. What i would do is make your wedding move able so that if you start late then you can change the day that you have it. But if you have to set it to a certain day then i would set it to where it is a week after your period should end. That way if it is late then you have a good chance that it wont be on the 'big day'

Taking the pill is a great idea!! I wish I had you guys to ask when I got married in '93. I started my period the night before my wedding! It was horrible!!! I had cramps and bloating, and of course was bleeding heavy the day of my wedding!!!!!! I definetely wasn't in the mood for sex. All I wanted to do was take a hot bath and go to bed after my reception.
Good luck to you! Call your doc.

Go on the pill at least a month before the wedding. Unless you want to get pregnant immediately. The pill isn't as effective the first month you're on it, so you'll want to start it before you have sex. Otherwise, use a condom as well. But go on it now if you don't want to get pregnant right away and to regulate your period.
You can have sex on your period. It's actually kind of nice, extra lubrication.
Depending on the size/stress of your wedding, you may want to wait until the next day to have sex. The first time you have sex hurts for most women (it gets a lot better after that!) and your wedding day is highly emotional and exhausting. My husband and I fell right to sleep after our (very small and not stressful at all) wedding. I didn't wait, and even after our tiny wedding, there was no way I was up for sex that night. Neither was he. I can't imagine how I would have dealt with the combined stress of the wedding day and the first time. Definitely talk to your doctor, your sister, your mother, any woman you know and trust about what to expect and how to relax. (My new siser-in-law talked to me, as we were about to be family, but it was a little easier on her than talking to her mother.) Also, talk to your fiancee about your feelings and get some reassurances from him about going slow, being careful, etc. My husband was my first (and only) and I was his, and we talked about everything beforehand and his sensitivity was crucial for me getting through the first time and really enjoying myself after that.
Hope that helps!

Are you taking any kind of birth control? If not, you might want to start it a few months before your wedding, so when the time comes close, you'll be able to figure out if you are supposed to have your period then, and if so, instead of stopping your birth control, you can just take the next one, so you won't have to worry about having your period then.
Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

i love the dinner theory yet make confident she has not some thing planned. i does not ask her if she desires help basically enable her understand if she ever does that you're there for her and at the same time as she does ask don't be to busy to assist her. Weddings are annoying and there is not any way round it.

I survived the very nightmare you are fearing 33 years ago. Although I tried to schedule the wedding so this would not occur, my period tended to come whenever I was very stressed and nervous. Of course I was very stressed and nervous on my wedding day!
