I am getting married in June. I started taking birth control (the pill) for the first time in January. This month, I got my period on the 20th and my wedding is June 22nd so, my worst nightmare, my period is due for my wedding/honeymoon. I was told that I shouldn’t try to skip my period the month of my “big day” for the first time but should wait to start my next pack so that my period falls in the middle of the pack. However, I don’t want to risk getting pregnant.

I’ve heard that skipping over the active pills in my pack and starting right with the new pack is an effective way to miss a period. I certainly don’t want my period for my wedding night, but I don’t know what to do.
