New Question About Birth Control Posted: 01-26-04 12:03pm
A friend of mine wants to stop taking bc
for a little while. She is getting
married in aug so she wants to know when
she should start taking it again to make
sure she is covered and safe in aug.
Does anyone know the answer to this? Any
help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
jill

If she is getting married, I would tell
her to start it about 3-4 months before
the wedding. She could experience
breakthrough bleeding or spotting from the
surge of hormones from the pills. A
doctor will recommend that you give the
pill at least 3 months for your body to
get used to it. The last thing she would
want is to experience the bleeding on her
wedding day.
