Worried I'll be on my period on honeymoon but we will be trying to get pregnant

[Tigger14]

I'll be coming off the pill 3months before our wedding to get the pill out of my system and have the first dreaded period over with. We want to start trying for a family once we are married however I'm scared I'll be on my period whilst on my honeymoon..and that wont be romantic....is there anything I can do to prevent this?

The honeymoon is booked and I dont know what my cycles will be after 10 years on the pill

I was on my period on my wedding night, baby was born 9 months after our wedding 🤣

I usually take the medication the above posters were talking about when I go on holiday as I have very heavy periods, I get it on prescription, had no idea you could buy it. It does mess up my cycle though.

I have taken Norehistamine and yes it did delay my period, but I had the most horrendous pmt regardless of no period, and because of that, wouldn't touch it again!

Stay on the pill until the end of your honeymoon. I came off the pill 3 months before our wedding thinking it would take a few months + to get pregnant... I got pregnant straight away and was 8 weeks pregnant on our wedding day...and horribly sick! So sick on honeymoon that my husband had to go to dinner alone & was seated on the singles table!!!

I took norethisterone as I was worried about getting my period on my wedding day/honeymoon. Agree with other posters about side effects, bad pmt, stopped taking it the day we got back from honeymoon and then had a bleed for 8 consecutive weeks. When I spoke to GP she said this was a perfectly normal side effect. You’ll probably be better off just taking your pill that you already know suits you until after honeymoon.

pill does not need 3 months to 'get out of your system'. Otherwise a missed pill would not mean pregnancy, which it can.

carry on until after the honeymoon (guessing a while ahead)...and then stop. It is handy to have one natural period before pregnancy to help with dating but it isn't essential if that doesn't happen.

you have no idea how you will react to notheristerone and the experiences of others are of no value as everyone reacts differently.

I fell pregnant both times I stopped the pill before my first pill free period, I also know lots of people who have had the same. It's anecdotal but it has been a recurring theme. I have a couple of close friends who I know stopped the pill, used other contraception until their cycles were regular and then tried and didn't fall pregnant for a few months. If I were you I'd stop taking it and start trying straight away, stop at whatever point in the cycle you like, I'd do 2 days before wedding.

I’d stay on the pill until after the wedding. You don’t want to spend your wedding day and honeymoon vomiting or feeling sick constantly. You can get pregnant as soon as you stop the pill, your body doesn’t just wait until your cycles have regulated.

I also had terrible side effects from noristherone. The cramps were worse than labour, migraine, felt really under the weather and a really heavy period. You definitely don't want that on your honeymoon!

Given you can have a lot of hormonal emotional changes when coming of the pill I think it's kind of bonkers to come off 3 months before your wedding. And obviously your periods could be really unpredictable still by then.

I'd definitely stay on it until after your honeymoon. I don't think it will make a difference overall to add 3 months to starting ttc.
