Hi, i'm new to the forums, but I was
hoping someone could help me out.
To start off, my periods have never been
normal. I might have one and then not
have another for like 3 months. I've been
to the Dr. She says this is normal, that
this happens to a lot of people.
So, anyway, knowing that i'm semi-normal,
I went to the gyno to get on birth control
on jan. 25th. I had a period on nov.
20th, didn't have one at all in dec., and
had my last one jan. 8th. She prescribed
me aleese and said of course to start the
sun. After my period.
Here's the problem....It's feb. 17th and
no period. Normally I wouldn't care, like
I said, that's normal for me. The thing
is, i'm getting married april 16th. I
know that I need to get this stuff in my
system. I definitly do not want to get
pregnant on my honeymoon!!
I can't seem to get ahold of my Dr.
Today, so I thought i'd get you guy's
opinion. Should I go ahead and start my
pills this coming sunday , even if I don't
get my period? Or will that mess
something up??
Thank you in advance for your replies!!
Take care!

No you should not start the pill without
your period you have to wait the first day
of your period or the sunday after your
period.

It might be okay to start because your
periods are so irregular, but you should
really talk to your doctor about this.
You should call and talk to his or her
nurse, they can recommend what to do.
Congratulations on your engagement and
upcoming wedding... That's exciting!!!

Thanks for replying...
I finally got ahold of my Dr. Last
night... She said I shouldn't start my
pills until after I started my period.
She said they wouldn't be effective at
all.
Bad news for me. :(
so...Presuming the worst..That I don't get
my period soon, what else can I do??
No one wants to wear a condom on their
wedding night, this will be my first time.
What are my other options???

Hmmm...That's a tough one. I'm just not
sure. I wonder why she said they
wouldn't be effective? I guess my
thought about it was that if you started
taking the pills that that would start you
on a regular cycle. But hey, i'm no
doctor. My only other thought is maybe
to get a second opinion from a different
doctor to discuss what your options are.
