Only if you are on the pill of some sort or similar. It can be taken not just for contraception but also for heavy and long periods. You can take it thru your period so you will miss one out. I often do this if i am going away or something. It does not harm your body as long as you dont do it all the time obviously or you will get breakthrough bleeding.
It may take a while for your body to become used to the pill and you may still bleed. How far off is the event? Go see your doctor and ask.

Just a question but... why not? Women ask all the time about skipping their period but... is it because of cramping? That would be over by day 2 or 3 i'd think. If it's because you use pads, invest in tampons, they're really not that hard to use. I suggest buying a divacup actually Wink

Even with my severe cramping, I never found my period to be an inconvenience when it came to events... then again I've used tampons almost my entire life since puberty.

I'm not saying "don't skip!" because skipping is perfectly fine, and there are forms of birth control out there that make you only have 4 a year. But if you're not on birth control at the moment, you might have a difficult time getting on it before the event. If you're sexually active or over 18 they require a pap smear (in NY anway).

In fl (the dr I have seen anyways) require a pap when sexually active or 21.

I would skip my period for major events like my wedding and my honeymoon. I wanted to celebrate the events with my husband but have never liked intercourse while on my period. That is just my personal reasons.

I can understand events that involve sex, but anything else I just don't see a reason to skip. Unless you're climbing a mountain in tibet Razz

Its clear youve never had bad periods or youd wantto skip them even at the most silly things like going on a day trip to the Zoo lol! Even tamponscant help me much. I leak within mins as have such heavy periods, the cramps are so bad im forced to often stay in bed. This is why i went on the pill in the 1st place and other meds

Yeah, I suppose when I used to vomit in pain and writhe around in bed it wasn't a bad period... Razz Sorry but yes, I did used to have very bad periods.

No, I don't have heavy flow, but again, the pill helps with that, and honestly the divacup makes life so much nicer during even my light period. It was a godsend!
