A personal question of the female nature...

I hadn't even thought about this and haven't got much time left!!

I am on the mini pill, have been for about 3 years and I cannot predict when my 'monthly' friend will arrive. It can happen any time between 4 - 10 weeks apart. The only time I know is a few hours before it happens. I used to be on the 'normal' pill and really liked it but I had a migraine and they won't let me have it any more.

I get married in less than 10 weeks so don't know if I have time to prevent any unwanted visitors as I can't predict when it will happen. My friend visited last week but hadn't been since the beginning of December.

Think I will have to ask my GP. But she is useless and never seems to know anything so try to avoid going to see her.

There's always a hysterecomy....but that might be a little OTT to the problem at hand :rotfl:

been trying to convince the gp to get my a gyni appointment for that, alas i opened my big mouth last time i saw her, my new drugs for MS seem to cure the monthly pain

Oh how frustrating!

I'd never thought about it!
When I was younger, I was due to go on holiday and was really self confident and having my period would have ruined my holiday as I wasn't comfortable with swimming with it so I went to my doctor and they prescribed me some pills which postponed my period for a few days. I can't remember what they were called but I'm sure a trip to the doctors will help!
Sorry if anyone's already said something similar, I only skim read

Good luck x

Another coil fan here, I always go to the local family planning clinic though, they are absolutely amazing there (and very experienced :rotfl:). The first 2 days after the 1st one was quite nasty but after that never had a problem and had my 2nd one in last year and that was absolutely fine.

Seriously, I couldn't cope with a period now!

I've been wondering about this as well! I have PCOS so I'm not regular at all (well, by "normal" standards anyway) so not sure the tablet 3-4 days before would be any good OP hope it works for you though!

I have PCOS and take the pill, so will just run 2 packs together. Can you do this?

I have the contraceptive implant and haven't had a period for over 3 years now anyway, we are getting it removed after the wedding to try for a baby, but until then I'm fine

I have the contraceptive implant and i'd definately recommend it for keeping away unwanted visitors¬

My GP said that because i'd previouisly been on a progesterone only pill and I had regular periods whilst on it then after i'd had the implant they'd probably continue to be regular, but i've not had a period since getting it fitted! bonus!
