I just figured out that I'm scheduled to have my period on the week of my wedding and I can't have that!

Is it safe to skip it? my wedding is in May, should I do it this cycle? I just started my period yesterday. I've been on Alesse forever...Thanks for help/info!

Hi and welcome!

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Many women can safely skip their periods. I would just mention it to your doc or his/her nurse to be sure they are in the loop.

If you are going to move your period I would do it as soon as possible because some women can move them without problems and others have break-through-bleeding. If you can get AF’s visit out of the way ahead of time that is one thing less to worry about on the run up to your big day.

Good luck
