When you chose your wedding day, you probably tried to find a day of significance to both of you. You try to schedule it on a day when your loved ones can be present. You may even consult a special calendar for the days of luck. Quite often though ladies, we forget to think about when we're going to have our monthly flow, so sometimes the wedding lands on a red day. If you haven't set the actual day yet, check your cycle now! It is best to have your nuptials on days 5 to 13 of the menstrual cycle since our hormones are on the up and at em mode. If you need help to figure out your cycle, you can go visit your doctor. There are even some online software products available that may help you to plot your period and keep track. The sooner you know the pattern the easier to set the date. It can be quite a drag if your wedding day is on the time of the month, especially if you're the kind who gets PMS. The cramps can make you cranky on your wedding day. The heels and heat plus backache is a recipe for a very long day. Thank goodness for painkillers! They'll help you get through the day. Of course, thanks to modern medicine there are ways to "reset" your period, if you will. Your ob-gyne (not yours truly) can teach this to you. It is one way to avoid the discomfort. The sooner you go see your friendly ob, the better. Basics to remember if you don't mind having your monthlies during this important period: Bring your pain relief medicine and take it when you need to. Have extra pads (or whatever you use) handy. Since you won't have a pocket or bag, you can ask your best friend or mother. Of course, avoidance is always the best policy! |
