Delaying Period

Plan B made me bleed for weeks at a time, messed me up so much. I do not recommend! It's worth a few days of waiting to have sex instead of messing up your cycle that badly

Just curious what religion has to do with having sex on a period? Honey, even if you took BC it will not stop your period from coming this month. Not all BC pills stop periods and they can take months to slow or stop it.

Also Plan B is for what @ChrisK said.... do not take it for a period.

Plan b will take about one or two days to even make you start. If this honestly was that big of concern for you my suggestion would of been for you to go see your obgyn to determine your options. In my case nuvaring for the win!!

There is a lot going on in this post...

I'm Muslim, Islam tells us not to for health reasons

No adult woman, especially one in a sexually active relationship, should be clueless about birth control. Talk to your doctor, they can help you sort fact from fiction, which apparently you have heard a lot of.

I would strongly encourage you to seek out sex and reproductive education. There is a lot of information available and you literally NEED to know it as a sexually active human being.

Please for the love of your health and body speak to a doctor and get yourself educated on this.

Birth control usually takes 3 months to kick in - considering its 5 days before your wedding and some OB/GYNs take a week or two to get into unless it's an emergency situation (read: pregnancy related. your period happening on your wedding is not considered an emergency)

Plan B will probably cause more cramping and bleeding since basically the whole point of it is making your uterus a "hostile environment" for a pregnancy

I'm sorry this is happening. I'm sorry your religion doesn't allow you to have sex while you're on your period. but 5 days before your wedding is a little late to do anything. take it in stride and good luck with the whole in laws and newlyweds living situation.

I second Chris.

OP thank you for clarifying. Please talk to a doctor about birth control. You can't stop a period this soon it's too late. Now I know nothing on your religion but can you take Plan B? It's mostly used for prevention of pregnancy due to unprotected sex. Not for stopping a period. Also some doctors won't give it out due to their beliefs.

@Izzi - plan B is over the counter now - at least it is in my state. no rx needed. but it's also a little pricey.

I just read you're Muslim, I admit I'm not as familiar as I'd like to be with your religion over all, however please be sure to seek out medical advice, not advice based in religion. You can have a sexually healthy marriage while still following the tenets of your faith with the right info.

For now, there's nothing you can do. After your wedding/honeymoon, I agree with PP that you should make an appointment with a Gyno. Do not take the morning after pill, I don't even understand why you thought that would help. You also sound like you have a strained relationship with your in-laws and are nervous about being married. You may also want to look into couples' counseling.

I mean...he loves you right? If you're that anti period sex, I'm sure he'll be fine to wait until after you're done. Honeymoons aren't just about sex anyway.

Am I missing something?

Thank you Emily!!! I wasn't expecting to be on my period, I looked at the calendar and realized that I started on my wedding day. Also for everyone telling me I need to be more educated, I was supposed to talk to a doctor a while ago, but too many things came up. We aren't sexually active yet, we are waiting for marriage. I know it's very traditional, but it was a personal decision. I wanted to talk to a doctor so I know the options and what each does but I never got around to it because I had about 3 months to plan my wedding and was busy af. The reason for no period sex is because it's harmful to the body, also I personally wouldn't want to. Thank you for the help everyone!!! No we aren't strained or need counseling, we have an amazing loving relationship. I know it's not all about sex, but I've waited so long hahahahahaha. My ILs are really different from my family and I and he thinks his mom loves me sooo much, but I know she doesn't (oh the stories I could say lmao) I tried bringing it up and he got sad so I'm like whatever 2 months and bye!

Fille- my honeymoon was all about the sex

You should make an appointment with your OB/GYN and discuss with them. Also, BC doesn't necessarily make you emotional. The side effects are different depending on the kind of BC and the person.

I recommend going to see your doctor to discuss your options. As knowledgeable as everyone on here is, only your doctor knows you and your health history. There are options available to help you.

@Nadinoreo - you're welcome. I hope everything else about your wedding is amazing. enjoy the honeymoon regardless. but please, please, PLEASE go see a doctor when you get back. especially if you and FH are not planning on having a baby right off. Wedding planning is a stressful thing but this is important. The reality of the situation is that you may not currently be sexually active - but you will be soon. There are a lot of things you need to know
