I’m getting married 5/23, I have been off of birth control for over a year and have just been tracking my cycles with calendars and apps. I wanted to do this to limit the medication I am taking and to get a good idea of how my body works without BC.

However, my lovely period is set to arrive 5/23 and the first two days are extremely heavy (without birth control). My OBGYN was not very helpful and stated I should’ve reached out months ago, oh well. So, I have a package of birth control pills here that I have been taking since Wednesday 5/13, (so 3 pills have been taken).

What are the odds it pushes my period a few days? I am ok if I have spotting since it will be much lighter than my normal period. Has anyone done this to help postpone their period? My plan is to take one last active pill on 5/23, and after that I could care less when the period hits.

Just looking for advice / guidance. If needed my period usually lasts 5 days, 26ish days apart and I am 32.

To add- my provider also said they were unable to prescribe the progesterone delaying medication, as I would need more than just to delay my period to quality for it. I know Wisp and other websites offer it, but then I got freaked out by the mental and physical side effects. Leading me to chose this birth control that I have atleast dealt with before, instead of introduction of a new drug I have never used whilst getting ready for wedding.

Looking for dermatology recommendations in Albany area. Specifically anyone who deals with adult face and body acne. Not at all interested in Schweigher Dermatology since they suck!!! Thanks in advance.
