I have a few concerns that I hope some people can help put my mind at ease. I and my boyfriend are both virgins and I'm 21 and he is 26. We want to wait until we get married to have sex together for the first time. My concern is that will I be in pain for the whole honeymoon after we have sex. Also what should I do so that I won't be on my period during the honeymoon? Should I go see my doctor and see what she thinks? I don't won't to work myself up over something that probably isn't a big deal. We love each other very much and respect each other and want to wait but I'm just a little nervous about the what if's. lol!

Rachelle, the best advice I can give you is to see your doctor or go to a Womens' Health Centre for a pre-marital medical examination. Not only will this ensure you are in good health but most importantly it will give you an opportunity to raise the points you ask in your question with someone most qualified and able to help you, a woman doctor. You will also be able to arrange for birth control, unless you plan to start a baby as soon as you marry.
As you say, it is no big deal but you sound as if you need reassurance and I think this is the best way to get sound advice. Good luck!

Your doctor can put you on the pill, and make sure you don't have your period during your honeymoon. Even if you want to start a family immediately, you would only need to take it long enough to ensure no period at that time. That said, there is nothing really wrong with having sex while on your period, but I can understand you wanting your first time to be perfect. I don't see any reason you'd be in pain for your entire honeymoon, just because of your first sexual experience. It may be slightly uncomfortable at first, especially if you've never had anything like a tampon in your vagina. Just relax, it's all natural.
Best wishes, and congratulations.

You may have minor discomfort for a little while, but I don't think it will ruin your honeymoon. Just take it slow and be sure to bring personal lubricant in case. As far as your period you can count ahead to see if it will interfere with the honeymoon and if it will I would ask my Dr. to go on the pill just until the honeymoon is over.

1. you can have sex on your period, though some don't prefer it
2. if you are on your period and don't want to have sex, you can wait until it's over to have sex.
3. i doubt the pain will be that bad. don't do anything that is really painful since that is not normal. be slow and cautious. there's a lot to learn. you can control whether you do something that will injure you. don't put up with pain. if it hurts, something is wrong.
