To request advice on periods for my fiancee

(I am male and a long time reader of these wonderful boards. I previously posted under the name "Milkybar28" for advice regarding my engagement - but now can't remember the login details!)

My fiancee and I are marrying in the middle of next month. Her period has just arrived a week early and thus will probably do the same next month (so I'm told), meaning she will be starting her period in the days before the wedding.

She is intensely worried about bleeding onto her dress and her already high stress levels are now through the roof so I'm asking for advice on delaying periods. She is not on the pill so merging packets is not an option.

We have done some research and Noristhisterone seems to be a solution (we know it's not a contraceptive).

Can anyone advise whether this is a reliable one off solution? And if so any potential side effects?
If not does anyone have any alternative suggestions- would a Mooncup be of any use?

Thankyou in advance for potentially saving my soon-to-be Wife's sanity!

Due to a contraceptive injection reacting badly with me, I ended up having a constant period for 3 months. I tried the mini pill, the pill, a contraceptive implant, and nothing worked. My GP then prescribed me Norestherone (excuse spelling!) and my period stopped after 2 tablets, so I can definitely say it works very effectively! I did not notice any mood swings, bloating, hunger, sweating, or side effects at all.
It is also fine to be taken for a fairly long length of time (I was prescribed 3 pills a day for a month) so you would be good for your honeymoon as well.
Congratulations on your impending wedding, and I hope you and your OH have a lovely, stress free day!

Without wishing to be snarky, does she normally bleed on her clothes?
Why doesn't she post about it?
Or are you more worried about the after wedding shagathon?
am equally puzzled why the op's gf is not posting.

Good God! If his wife to be had posted this, would the posts from you lot have been the same?

Why can't we just answer a simple question here anymore...

Good luck op!

Point of what? berating someone who was looking for advice?

yeah, ok!

I agree with woodlousecollection. I've never used a moon cup so can't compare but softcups are excellent. You really can wear them for 12 hours without any leaks. I have even been swimming in mine and absolutely no problems which is not always the case with Tampons.
