Ouch
well it happens to 1/4 of females

woman

That seriously sucks. FYL.

Have a good time trying explain that to your fiance, though.

oh wow..thats like my worst nightmare

that's why you go on birth control so that you can use it to safely delay or skip your period.

it's part of wedding planning 101.

i guess the only way u deserve it is because ur a woman lol i voted FYL

It likes to come at the worst possible moments. This is going to sound gross but, if you and your new husband want to do the deed, use a female condom. And hey, at least you know your bestfriend is a true friend!

id hate to be ur bestfriend broseph

That really sucks. I just don't understand who still uses pads after the age of 16...

whoever said she deserved this one wtf?

This is one of my worst fears too...but that's why whenever I have my wedding I want to keep my period at the back of my mind so I can plan to have the wedding when I know I'm safe. That sucks though.

Oh man, this sucks SO much :( a true FML... and #11, even if you plan around it, the stress and likely change in eating/activities can cause it to come sooner.

oofff
i feel sooo badd

sucks but why didnt you schedule your wedding to a date that you arent on your period...? or are you not regular? and still using pads and no birth control pills?

I'm so sorry. :(
You've got a truly great best friend, at least. :)

ugh, and in addition you might get cramps and stuff. :(

Well, good luck on the wedding and congratulations :)

Yup, FYL indeed.

But moreover, F-Your-Best Friend's-Life. You'd better get her a damn awesome birthday present. You owe her.

"My best friends wedding is coming up. She has her period...Guess whos stuck changing her pad because her dress is to big? FML"

Blood wings!

Tampon? I'm a guy and I know this!

You should look into menstrual cups! They're reusable, silicone, and have no risk of TSS. It's too late for your wedding day, but maybe you can pick up Insteads at a Walgreens or something, you can use that for the honeymoon. Congrats!

Well, your wedding is probably over by now, but for the future, can I put in a word for menstrual cups? If you find one that fits you well and your flow isn't too heavy, you could probably go a whole day without having to empty it.

You have a very good best friend, lol.

Oh wow! That's awkward...for you, your fiancee and your best friend. Congratulations on the wedding though!

Try a tampon....?

oh wow. a bloody honeymoon.

agreed with #5. seriously.

Ooh, that sucks. Every time I'm doing something big, like going on a trip, I always worry about my period starting and ruining it. At least you're getting married though! You can always have a second honeymoon later :)

well, if you're a woman you should be used to your period by now so even tho it is your wedding day, realistically it should affect your day too much. Also, why not wear a tampon instead of a pad? longer wear...and tampons are much less disgusting.

Duly noted. Thanks for the tip!

fyl?
fuck your best friends life.

ohh the jobs that fall upon the best friends head...sad day

Pad? Seriously...use a tampon.
Or you could of avoided this by being on birth control and just keep taking the active pills to avoid getting you're period on your wedding!

You fail, congrats on the wedding though!

ughhh #23, those disgusting menstrual cups would even be harder to replace .. on your heavy flow you can only keep it in for about 3 hours. I really dont think she wants her best friend to have to pull out a blood filled cup every 3 hours ..

no wedding sex for you..unless you really want to while yur..yaknow.

That sucks...but really, why didn't you realize you were going to be around that time a LONG time ago? You should have gone on the pill so you could skip your period that week. That's what I did. Sorry to hear it, but at least you're getting married - enjoy it :)

you should use the big tampons

This comment has been moderated.

well, whether she uses a pad, tampon or one of those cup things, her best friend will still have to change it. i reckon pad would be easier for someone else to change... lol. liiiittle bit less awkward.
and not everyone goes on birth control pills. although that actually isnt a bad idea to do it for your wedding...

really sucks. but i hope you have an amazing wedding :)

For all the people saying just to use a tampon... that might not actually work. I personally have pretty heavy periods, so even though I use tampons I still need a pad with it for the first two days or so.

And this is why I want to be on the pill before I get married.

try having it during an 11 hour blackbelt test. with 1000 pushups, jumping jacks. and a BUNCH more stuff. at age 13. with one chance to change. but still.. FYL.

Get a diva cup!!

How old are you? :/

Um, okay

1) Wear a cup or a tampon... not a pad!
2) Don't most women plan their wedding around there period, or at least get birth control to skip it? You should have thought of that.

I'm clicking YDI and FYL because you should have planned ahead, but since you didn't, it still sucks.

some girls can't use tampons, allergic reactions.
some people don't believe in birth control; part of their religion.

# 5, some people are allergic to birth control, like me, so taking birth control pills or anything that has the female hormone in it isn't anything that is possible.
and some women do have periods that arent regular, which sucks, so maybe her period came by surprise.
and then of course, some women could believe in not using tampons.
of maybe shes old school, and doesn't use birth control or tampons or anything like that.
there could be many different reasons why she decides to use pads, or why she didnt know her period was coming on her wedding day.

yeh.....although i agree FYL.....you oughta know enough about your cycle to plan important things like this around it :|

that's my biggest fear. sometimes mother nature is a bitch.

Why would having her friend change her tampon instead of her pad be better?

ew wtf a menstrual cup?!!
that sounds DISGUSTING.

thats dedication on ur friends behalf i hope ur getting her something good for a present

oh and ur friend is a real trooper ! i would so totally thank her, she has made ur day !

That's what friends are for. My sister had to pee when she got married and her friends lifted her up. It was hilarious. (:

FYL, take Advil for the cramps.

#37, lol, i doubt she's going to let a little blood ruin her honeymoon. it isn't that big of a deal. but, still, fuck your friends life.

oh dear that is horrible. but tnx 4 the tip....

Would you rather have a friend change a pad or a tampon? lol.

That really sucks ><

And to all the people telling her she should wear a tampon instead: she will still have to get it changed, and I am sure her friend won't want to be that invasive.

Hey, idiots telling her she needs to take the pill... you know, that thing with a lot of health risks? Some people CAN'T take the pill for medical reasons, and that shouldn't surprise you. If I go on the pill, I'll get a freaking blood clot, so... not fucking happening, people.

I agree #10, who in the heck said she deserved that!? truly, wtf?

This comment has been moderated.

#5, some people are allergic to birthcontrol, like me.
so anything with female horomes in it as a birth control isn't possible, so delaying a period isn't an option.
and some women's periods aren't regular, which sucks, they can happen whenever, it happens.
and then there are women who don't wear tampons, it could be because they decide on that, or they could be allergic to that as well.
maybe she is old school and chooses not to use birth control OR tampons
none the less, this is her wedding day and she has an awesome friend who is saving her day !
if this happened to my friend i would be SO thankful !
and as for the honeymoon, its up to her to have sex on her period or not.

You deserve it.

what are you, 12?

be prepared better for your next wedding.

duh, for all you people who said use a tampon, some women can't, their flow is too heavy or they have other issues. And if I was her best friend I'd rather change a pad then tampon. And even if you are on birth control, you can have break through bleeding from stress, trust me. And some peoples' religions are against using birth control and all that other stuff.

Ok about the tampon thing... you people that think its a better way..well its not...her dress is still going to be too big..and plus i dont think she want her best friend going up her vigina... i would go with the female condom...

You're getting married, you obviously have the best best friend in the world and, unless you've been "waiting," your fiance is NOT going to beat you. Count your f-ing...blessings. This site is for high schoolers and spoiled college kids who haven't learned to do that yet!

And the rest of us to endulge our schadenfreude.

The first think I thought of was #5, but #61 has a good point as well.

I'm sorry about that, that does really kinda suck.

You're lucky. You're about to marry the person you love. You have the rest of your lives to have sex.

YLIF because you have periods... not because you are a girl but having a period would freak me the fuck out so all the power to you

and hey #60, for all of us, go on the pill

what about birth control? You can still have sex on your period. Just dont look when he pulls out lol it looks like he murdered you with his cock.

Yeah, I'm getting married next spring and my fiancée and I are sometimes worried that she'll have her period the same time you, OP, had yours. We don't want to use condoms and we aren't big fans of the pill either. We're going to get a LadyComp, which is as effective as the pill but it also lets a woman continue her natural cycle of menstruation. So ovulation and menstruation will still interrupt vaginal intercourse and/or cunnilingus.

So we can completely relate. Your life really is F***ed. And the bit about your friend sounds completely unpleasant too.

okay, so, here are my responses to this.

Tampon?
A) it could be a full day before she gets the chance to change it on her own, so, not only would it be less awkward for her friend to help, but, it would also be safer for her.
B) Tampons STILL leak people, whether or not they are braided and such. Even supers, if you have a heavy enough flow, four hours into that tampon, its gonna be leaking down your leg. I think she did the right thing here.

And, as for her best friend, That was an amazingly nice thing she did, and if she didnt want to, she wouldnt have. So stop saying F her life. She chose to because shes an awesome friend.

uh...but for reals, ladies who are not on birth control and are getting married in more than 2 months...learn to use a menstrual cup. You can leave it in for like, 12 hours even if you're flowing heavy, and unlike pads and tampons, does not smell.

Sorry this advice came way late for you...:(

At least its your best friend
Hahaha #71

That sucks though :[

23 - Awesome idea, I was going to say the same thing! A cup could be good to at least try during your honeymoon, and with Instead cups (google it, they're like a disposable version of a normal menstrual cup like Diva, Lunette, etc.) you can have sex with one inserted. I do NOT recommend trying to use a cup during your wedding, though, it's just not worth the risk, since there is a learning curve with cups.

36 - She didn't say to use it DURING her wedding, just during her honeymoon. Unless she wears her wedding dress the whole time, I don't see why it should be a problem.

52 - Enjoy your festering pellet of bleached cotton and rayon, then.

And to everyone saying it's her fault for not planning around her period - not every woman has a menstrual cycle that is perfectly on cue, and a lot of variation can occur, especially with stress thrown into the mix.

There are SO many different forms of birth control, not just the pill, that can regulate a woman's period and allow her to plan. She didn't look into the options, fair enough. But they're out there. Even the different pills have different ingredients that would allow one to avoid an allergy. You can't be allergic to the hormones themselves, which are what do the job. They occur naturally in rather strong doses in your body, after all.

For the record, there's nothing wrong with using pads instead of tampons. That's what I do. It's really not that bad.

hmmm y didnt u just use birth control for a while
or till after ur honeymoon or somthing

77 - I'm not trying to be contrary or anything, but some women just don't prefer the idea of taking artificial hormones - the side effects can be nasty with some of them, and it takes a while for them to either regulate, or get bad enough that you switch to another pill and see if it affects you less adversely. A lot of docs have you keep with it for 3 months, which can be hellish for some ladies when they're gaining weight, losing their sex drive, etc. Granted, if the OP's period is so annoying to her, she probably wouldn't be opposed to hormonal birth control, but I'm just sayin'.

If you're a guy, be thankful you don't have to go through this stuff and say AMEN!!! AMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!


Although girls don't have to experience being kicked in the nuts, and they should be thankful for that.

#78
Thank you! I am so for pads instead of tampons. Theres a plastic wrapping underneath the cotton of a pad, unlike tampons. and pads have way less risk with them. There isnt anything wrong with pads.

hope you didn't wait for marriage!

Omg, that sucks. :( Hope you have a nice wedding though, regardless.

And for people saying she should've planned around it, she might be irregular. I actually started taking the pill to regulate my periods. Sometimes I'd have them every 2 weeks, and twice I think I bled for a month. It was awful. DX

Plus, things like stress can make it come earlier, so yeah.

I was on my period on my wedding day. It sucked.
And I, too am allergic to the Pill. It's more common then most people think.
You do have a stellar best friend though.

why don't you use a tampon, it lasts longer and doesn't feel like a diaper

#63 - i'm allergic to the pill too, which is why i'm on the patch. in canada, every birth control pill contains lactose for whatever fucked up reason. i'm lactose intolerant so i'm on the patch, which does no contain lactose. i'm sure if the original poster had taken the time to research birth control before her wedding day, she would have found one that suited her and her body.

and for everyone saying "use a tampon" ... i don't think her best friend is gonna want to yank out her dirty blood stick and then stick a clean one back up her pussy. ew.

well, that's what bestfriends are for!

Seriously? You don't know when your period comes? Don't you have a calendar?

Menstrual cup. Solution to all of your problems.

okay birth control pills has NOTHING to do with age. I work in a pharmacy and there are plenty of old people on it, I promise!
And if "some women prefer not to go on birth control" or have issues with putting extra hormones into their body, then they have no right to complain about how horrible their period is. They're choosing to suffer!
And your about to get married and you still wear pads?
Thats just gross!
i have not worn one since I was 13, it feels absolutely disgusting, and it makes things 10 times grosser for you husband to be (who will probably be down their anyways, I presume) why would you ruin what is supposed to be the happiest day of your life?
I'm sorry but YDI for not doing anything to avoid this situation

90 - How is it gross to wear a pad compared to a tampon? Just because you dislike them doesn't mean the rest of the female population does too. I guess I agree that if women honestly hate their period so much, they might as well go ahead and use HBC and stop complaining to the rest of the world about having to deal with their period, which I think is an amazing, beautiful, natural thing, but apparently not many others feel the same way...

#90 not everyone HAS to be on birthcontrol so get over it.

OP im sorry, that is horrible :( I always get mine at the worst times too...

... birth control...?

supposed to plan around that, but youre fault

It sucks...but would only be a true FML had you gone through your wedding dress day off :S

okay, to all you people who are saying that pads are disgusting and feel like a diaper, youre all imbiciles. Seriously. Not everyone feels things the way you do. Shut up about it. There is nothing wrong with her choice. Yeah. I said it. its HER choice. NOT YOURS. So chill. Acting like youre all high and mighty because you like tampons. Yeah, well, I can almost guarantee those of us who wear pads will never get TSS from it.

yeahhh.

dear women. u know damn well when yo period is about to come. this shit is yo fault. stfu. the end.

buh bye.

uh. actually, #97, a lot of us DONT know when its coming. Ive planned and planned, and my cycle is never the same. Not all of us have our periods start right on time. and stress is a big factor.

#81, i assure you being kicked in the vag or hit in the chest hurts bad too, so be thankful for that.
you haven't experienced anything until childbirth. so be THANKFUL for that. :)

I'm sick of reading about everyone criticizing her. First, it is her prerogative to choose which feminine products she prefers. Also, I can't speak for everyone, but most people I know don't have cycles like clockwork. While they are generally regular, they can always come early, late, not at all etc. , so stop blaming her as if she made a mistake. Consider she might have had to work with church availability, minister availability, convenience for family etc. I'm sure her cycle wasn't the only consideration in plannign

#100.


...
all I can say.

*applause*

Hold on, hold on, hold on... Are we seriously having a pad vs tampon war on FML???

97 - Dearest wonnybot73. You don't know how periods work. This shit is most likely the fault of a substandard education. Stfu. The end.

when ever you plan a wedding never plan it near your time of the month

Clearly most of you have never planned a wedding. People tend to plan their wedding date at LEAST six months in advance, and if you're just one day off in your cycle a few times, your planning is for naught. Even if she IS on the pill, many women can't just randomly skip their period without spotting. Not to mention the horror that the pill can wreak on your body... I was on it for six years and then started having bad side effects so I got off it. Yay for non-hormonal IUDs.

But thumbs up for menstrual cups, which you can indeed wear for 12 hours, even on heavy days.

K so just putting this out there to everyone who's saying tampon, tampon's don't last all day, unless you have a ridiculously light flow. You still have to change them every two to four hours, just like a pad. Definitely more comfortable but if you need help changing them don't you think a pad would be less awkward? I really don't see how tampons are a solution to this... at all. Though some form a birth control definitely would have been a good idea.

Also some woman just don't like wearing tampons, I know several people with whom that's the case, and I personally don't wear them at the beginning of my cycle because they seem to aggravate my cramps.

as inconvenient as this may be, sex during your period is NOT THAT BAD. just be grateful for the extra lubrication and quit whining

use a tampon for god sake

bummer for you; rule #1: use birth control #2: don't be worried about the wedding night; its fun in the shower.

Thank you #100. Do any of you realize what goes into setting a wedding date? Many weddings these days have the date set nearly a year in advance, sometimes more, because getting a date where everything works with the location and food and everything else is tough. My period is like clockwork with the pill, but I don't even think I would schedule my wedding around my period. Anything could happen between when the date is set and the actual date, like getting sick and messing up when I get my period. Personally I plan to figure out a few months before if I needed to worry about it, then use the pill to offset it by a week or two if I need to.

OP, that sucks. Good luck with your wedding and marriage.

thats my worst nightmarrrre ... that sucks .. hopefully youll dance and drink enough that youll forget it and just have a good time. congratttts though :)

this is why BC pill is my friend

how could anyone POSSIBLY deserve this? :\

that really sucks :/
you could always try using tampons?

Tampons-use them
And she might not wanted to have use bc because not everyone can take it/it can make you spot/it is chemicals you are putting into your body which she might not want
But that sucks for you. I'm sorry. I hope your husband-to-be is understanding

81, um, ever thought of child birth?

And I'm sorry that you have your period, but don't let it ruin your wedding! And be forever grateful of your friend!

She deserved it b/c there are plenty of things she could have done to avoid this!

divacupdivacupdivacup. they are phenomenal.

So sorry though, I hope the rest of your wedding goes smoothly-we all know how we respond under stress AND our period. Don't do anything rash :).

OP: See #100
You definitely did not deserve that. Congrats on the wedding.


All the birth control commenters (not the OP): I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the implants yet. For the pills, yes some people are allergic to the lactose filler but some people have issues with the estrogen based birth control itself. [#77, yes you can have medical issues to the hormones themselves. As a regulator of your bodies natural cycles, the dosage itself can determine the side-effects. In pharmacology there is a saying, it is the dose that makes the difference between a drug and a poison.]
Birth Control Implants, (E.g. Implanon) are progesterone based and work for some women . . . google it.
For a lot of women, the implants have an added benefit of no periods.

Agreed with 100.

A lot of you people are so ignorant. A pack of birth control pills has 28 pills (7 of which being sugar pills, the week you menstruate), but there's only one month that actually has 28 days. Every other month has 30/31 days, so even if you normally menstruate at the beginning of the month, eventually it'll get pulled back to the ending of the previous month and so forth. Anyone who has tried to plan a wedding would know that the menstrual cycle is probably the last thing on their minds at the time. Especially considering how far in advance you have to plan it.

To the OP: I know how you feel. I'm going to have mine during my wedding as well. It sucks, but it's all part of the deal, I guess. I'm definitely going to be doing my own changing, though. :P

You don't mean started, right? You mean your on it this week, correct?? Cuz you shouldn't start when you're as old as you probably are.

The best friend having to change it is embarrassing. 0_0

Seriously? It's called a calendar. And if you're too irregular you should probably be on BC anyway. But that's what best friends are for.

I applaud you, #100. You basically said everything I wanted to say.
And I also prefer pads. I personally don't like the idea of having a cotten stick shoved up by vagina, but thanks anyway.

That happened to me... But I was expecting it. And used a tampon. Lol.

you deserve that so much

babe, you're getting married. If you were so freaked out about getting your period on your wedding and honeymoon you SHOULD HAVE chosen a week you weren't close to starting on [if you're old enough to get married, you're old enough to know what week in a month you get your period], or have gone on birth control. That way you could have planned your wedding on a week you would have been off.
Sucks for you, but YDI

thats narsty.
we did NOOOT have to know that C:
and number 1, more then 1/4 women get their period .. about 3/4 do ?!

At least give your girlfriend a break and wear a tampon because personally, I would rather pull down a string than wrap up a soggy pad!

A pad? What are you, twelve?

125 - Wow, you have definitely not read any of the comments here, or else you would realise that NOT all women can track their periods to the exact day, especially if they are planning a wedding months and months ahead!

Are people seriously saying to use a tampon? You have to change those, too. Imagine how much more awkward THAT would be... And it's not immature to use pads, it's a preference.

I agree with #44!

Gross! A pad!! That's like sticking a pillow down there!

awww, that's horrible, the people who said you deserved it are jerks! Happy wedding though!!!!!! : )

that sucks...if you were on the pill, you'd know when you were to get it and you could just breeze right on thru with another pack and skip it...OR count on a calendar. YDI. totally avoidable

PLANNING is everything.

Why are people so stupid when it comes to the tampon thing?

Look, not everyone prefers tampons. I'm 19, and I don't like them. Neither does my mother, who is in her forties. They're not for everyone.

If you think pads feel like diapers, be smart and grab the thinner ones. You don't feel them if you position them properly. And if you think they feel gross... um, change them? Pretty sure that's the point.

And yes, the few times I HAVE worn tampons, I've had to wear pads on my heavier days anyway. So what the fuck's the point if I have to buy tampons AND pads?

omg that sucks so bad
:(

I agree with #30 but also, try to avoid dairy and it will lighten your flow at the very least (it can also help you finish it earlier)

135. you are my hero.

and really people.

there are 135 comments on here about how planning doesnt always help and stuff.
Im so with 135 on this. Why buy both?

Uhh while I much prefer tampons myself, I don't get all you people who are telling her to use a tampon. You really think it'll be less awkward for her friend to pull a bloody tampon out of her vagina than it will be to change a pad? Any woman who's ever changed a baby's diaper will probably not be particularly squeamish about changing a pad.

Being a guy, I don't have a lot of experience in this department, but from what I understand, this is definitely an FML. Regardless of what precautions you take, bleeding from your vag on your wedding day sounds awful.

wear a tampon first of all.....

this is why you're supposed to pay attention to when your period is. That way, when it's important, you can plan around it.

no. 142 - I've tried that - it doesn't always work.
Oh, well.
The best laid plans of mice and phantomdonuts...

Well I guess it happens, it's a fact of life. Have a really good wedding, I'm sure that minor thing won't stuff up anything!

yeah that sucks,
but sex in shower is fun.

+ whoever keeps saying to use a tampon, some girls just do not like them + it doens't solve the problem, you have to change them just as much as a pad.. it just doesn't solve the problem.
and at least changin a pad rather than a tampon is better for best friend.


nooobs

see if you got pregnet before the wedding this wouldnt be a problem!
jk.
40 as i read yours i immediatly relized you are probably a man. its called irregual. not always the exact same

Wow do you people not realize that not many weddings can be planned within the period of a month? Most take up to half a year at least because you have to book venues and churches and whatnot. Also, like what the other dozen people said up there, not all periods are regular and not all women choose to regulate their periods using birth control. Yeesh.

tampon much? and if you were on birth control you could skip over it.

that is sooo awful. def my worst nightmare. i dont know what i would do in the situation. your honey moon is gonna suck. i'm sorry!!

you should have drank pomegranate tea!

such a loyal friend you have there...

awwwwww=( i feel so bad 4 u. Isnt it uncomftorable having ur friend change it? Haha.

HAHA! OWNED!

I'm looking into this Diva Cup thing.. thanks to the ones that mentioned it. XD

153 - Check out http://menstrualcups.org/ first! Diva isn't always the best choice for every woman, there are lots of varieties of menstrual cup, and also lots of advice on how to use them on that website/LJ! :)

122- when we have our period every month, we say that we 'started' our period. Or we 'got' our period.
127- 1 meant that 1/4 of women have their period on their wedding
128- as much as I agree that pulling a string would be better...my guess is to why she is using a pad instead of a tampon (if she normally does use them) is because her friend would then have to insert a NEW tampon back in. Awkward.
And to the person who asked if there was seriously a pad/tampon war on here....I was thinking the SAME thing

And for everyone saying she should've used a calandar...121 said it PERFECTLY, so I'm copying it for you all...
"A lot of you people are so ignorant. A pack of birth control pills has 28 pills (7 of which being sugar pills, the week you menstruate), but there's only one month that actually has 28 days. Every other month has 30/31 days, so even if you normally menstruate at the beginning of the month, eventually it'll get pulled back to the ending of the previous month and so forth."
So...there ya go.
And OP, I feel for ya...I started mine at sr. prom. White dress....didn't know until my best friend had to hold up my dress so I could pee.

tampons!

yeah. not everyones period is regular and on time. mine never is. so annoying.
and there is nooothing wrong with pads.
ive used tampons before, but dont really like them. much prefer pads. theyre easier, and for me, more comfortable. there's no difference really. they do the same thing, and no one can tell.

wow, why is everyone saying use birth control or a tampon? maybe she doesnt like to use either one of those things? i know of females who cannot use tampons and birth control can change your rate of having children in the future. not everyone can plan their period months in advance cause I know mines like to act funny. but hope you had a beautiful wedding =)

who the hell is the sexist bastard who said she deserved it?
ITS HER WEDDING!!! ITS NOT HER FAULT!!!! U WOOD BE SHOCKED WHAT WE GO THROUGH IN A TYPICAL DAY TO LOOK "PRESENTABLE"
btw congrats on the wedding and that friend of urs is a sweetheart

how does anyone deseerve this? and its better to use a pad if her friend has to help her...could you imagine her friend changing her tampon?

although doctors say you do not have to take the placebos in your Birth control pack you can start a new one because if you do not ovulate because of the birth control you arent having a true period...
still fuck your life indeed...well since you are marrying your guy he should be understanding

yea definitely FYL. And your best friend's as well.

Wear a tampon...

So? Period sex is the best. You'll have an even more awesome wedding night.

If you're old enough to be getting married... you're old enough to be able to count to when your next expected period is. You should have thought about this.

#87. i appreciate your tampon-pad comment. A FUCKING MEN.
you took the words out of my larynx you SOB!!!!

You have to change tampons too.

If you don't, you will start with a high fever, diarrhea, and vomiting. TSS can be fatal.

It's not a big deal. It's not like only some women are chosen to have periods and others are not. But I would still buy her one hell of a thank you gift.

#165: People usually reserve wedding dates at least 6 months in advance. If this woman wasn't on her period, there's a good chance that the slight variation in her cycle would make her unable to count it.
Agreed with #5 though, my fiancee says she's read that you can just take an extra week of the active birth control (instead of the usual placebo pills) and it'll delay your period...

Gay...

BUTT SECKS TIME.

#167 - you're welcome?

I keep thinking since your period comes at the same time every month, you could have scheduled around it. Still, FYL.

LMAOLMAO. You got a great best friend. If I was your best friend... Yeah I wouldn't even go near you and your um.. bleeding issues.

And to some people that are saying like that she should be using a tampon, she doesn't HAVE to. It's a choice.

#165, Please. Be Real. Just because the period is regulated doesn't mean the stress won't make it come later, or sooner then it's supposed to. Not one girl, will always come on a specific date for the rest of their lives. We're stressed and it will come later then usual or it might come earlier.

This is totally your fault...it's call birth control.

sorry but you still use pads?! find a tampon you like and then you won't need anyone's help. or at least you shouldn't. (also, it's not the end of the world...just use a towel and you will be fine!)

sucks for you...


u should use a tampon....

Wear a tampon and use a pad. That should leave you protected...

I'd rather pull out a tampon than wrap up a pad, so your friend can take out the tampon and the pad beneath should be fresh for the rest of the evening.

I am so glad I have a Y chromosome. Ladies, you really got the raw end of the deal biologically... I salute you :/

To anyone who doesn't seem to understand the BC delay thing because of the number of pills: you start a new pack, just keep taking the active pills from the next pack.

You people saying she should use a tampon. Do you not see the part where her friend has to put it on for her? I would rather help put on a pad than a tampon

at least shes not changing your tampon

don't you know when you get your periods? ... and couldn't you have scheduled your wedding accordingly?

Is EVERYONE on here 12? It's a period. It happens. Who cares if it's on your wedding or otherwise? If you are marrying a decent guy he either 1) won't care that you're on your period and you'll still have crazy newlywed sex or 2) he won't care and postpone the sex a couple days.

Either way... who the hell cares? It's a PERIOD people. It's not a crisis. You don't "plan" weddings around it or change your life to accommodate a little bleeding now and then. Any woman with half a brain doesn't give it a second thought 99% of the time.

I mean Christ, I'm getting married in 8 weeks and will probably start my period on or right before my honeymoon too. Am I panicked, FML-ing? No.

Wanna know why?

Because it doesn't matter.

Period.


(No pun intended...) ;)

you cant start a period. periods just come...

Why aren't you on birth control?! To those of you who say that isn't something brides consider, you are wrong. That's something ALL my female friends who are getting married/got married considered. You can just skip the sugar pill week for the month you are getting married. It's not a big deal. That really sucks this happened to you. I'm paranoid about that sort of thing happening. lol

SOrry hun that is a serious bummer. I definetly reccommend using a tampon you can put it in before you get dressed and take it out after you are out of the dress. As for the sex the best way to handle that during your period is to be upfront with your honey and offer to do it in the shower. A) Shower sex is fantastic and B) Neither of you will ever notice! it is a win win!!

The calendar-it's your friend. That's why you chart that shit to know when it's coming for something as important as a wedding, or you go on the Pill. No sympathy here.

you deserve it.
you could have planned & controlled the situation better. when this occasion comes up, you definitely take birth control to regulate & make sure this situation DOESN'T happen. if your period happens to fall on your wedding/honeymoon, you skip the sugar pills.



i hope your poor best friend tells you the same thing when she's down there dealing with your bloody mess.

Awwh, that sucks. Have a great wedding though!

To the people who are treating this like she could have avoided it:
I am on BC and every week I'm supposed to get my period, there's a four day window of when it can start. And then it varies on the duration. Sure, I might know what week I get it, but it doesn't mean I know when it'll start.
Also, I did the whole delay your period thing as well. DO NOT DO IT. I suffered from withdrawl symptoms. And for those who are going to say "no way that happened": BC is still a drug. A prescription drug. And with anything else, you can suffer from withdrawl if you take it over an extended period of time and decide to go "cold turkey" so to speak.
And, as an additional point to that: I still got my period, while I was on the pills. It was later, granted. But it still reared it's ugly head.
I have no comment on the tampon/pad issue. I used pads for the longest time. I personally didn't like them, and now use tampons, but I know that some people prefer it to sticking something inside themselves.

OP: I'm so sorry this happened. I hope your husband understands!

I really wanna know whooo the hell thought that this was deserved. It's not like she could have avoided it. That's just absolutely ridiculous if you clicked 'you deserved that one'..NO woman deserves that..major bummer. :/

PLUSSS, it's not that easy to just 'plan' out when you're gonna get it. Maybe she WAS keeping track on the calender, and it cam unexpectedly or she was a few days off. I mean..really people? come ON

"I'm getting married tomorrow and my fiance just got her period. FML"

you're getting married and you STILL use a pad? ewww upgrade to tampons...

lol @ all the little kids that think they're some how more mature for preferring one menstrual product over another. If you spend so much time judging people on what they use to soak up blood, i don't think they're the ones that are gross or childish XD

well thats what best friends are for! :)

YDI. It is not like you can't control you period! Girl, we're living in the 21st century! Seriously, I would have taken any pill or whatevet to avoid something like this...

Deserved this! lol

learn-to-maxi-tampon :|

#9 - I think getting her friend to put a tampon in rather than a pad would be A LOT weirder.

ROFL I can't believe some of the guys here think that all women's periods come at the exact same time EVERY SINGLE MONTH.

happened to me on valentines day and my 1 year anniversary. sometimes being a female sucks

I can't believe there are so many of you that don't mind sitting in your own mess (pads..obviously)

I understand why she would wear one though, it would take a TRUE friend to insert a tampon haha.

On the up side, sex in the bath/shower?

Periods are regulated so you deserved that one for setting your wedding date for the day you're supposed to get your period.

To the people that are saying she should use a tampon-

If you were the bestfriend would you rather change her pad or shove a tampon up her vag? Think about it.

+ at #204 not all periods are regulated, dumbass.


Good luck with the wedding, OP. It sucks you got your period but congrats anyways (:

Hey, just give him an extra special bj on your wedding night.

awww that blows. i hope you can work around it and still be all lovey.
also to all you tampon enthusiasts, i still use pads! i don't like shoving weird shit in my vag. it's not juvenile.

This is why you plan your wedding around your period.
sucks for you though.

All of you who say "why are you not on birthcontrol?' or "use a calendar when wedding planning" are either on crack or 13 years old.

Seriously, when I read those dumbass comments I must assume that you started your own first period last week or that the only female person you know is your mom.

Thank you #182! It's a little bit of bleeding. A slight inconvenience at the most, not the end of the world.

As much as that sucks... you can get medication to postpone your period in situations like this, if you plan ahead. I've done it when I was going on holiday.
Unless you're just really irregular. In which case, ouch.

it's always a good pretext to go anal :D

um..you should have went on birth control so you could have skipped your period..and pads?? use a freakin tampon. this is all your fault LOL

Yeah, tampons are your best friend! That sucks, though =/

are you kidding me? regulate that shit. youire getting married.. go on birth control. and are you actually relying on a pad on your wedding? if you dont want to be a stained mess you have to use both a tampon and a pad

Okay, people who keep mentioning the tampons, just thought you might want to remember her bestfriend had to put the pad in; Imagine her putting the tampon in. Think logically guys.
And, to the lady who didn't think about her period while planning her wedding, that's your fault.
You have one hell of a best friend though.

Kinda late now, i guess, but get a mirena IUD :) they're 99.9% effective, they stay in for 5 years and after about a year most womens' periods stop completely - awesome.

should've been on birth control

I know some people have unpredictable periods, but usually most women can at least tell which week they're going to have it. Don't you keep a record of when you have it?

Birth control FTW. You always know, to the day, when you're going to have your period.

okay. guys? If youre going to be completely idiotic, read ALL the comments. The pad/tampon issue has been covered. Its her choice. End of story. I would rather change my best friends pad that put in a new tampon. Although #176 was the smartest idea Ive seen. The BC issue has been covered. She didnt want it or couldnt do it. And you still freakin bleed on the pill. Sometimes its worse, and you cant count it as easily.

honestly. stop sayin the same crap over and over. its been covered. and youre just making yourself look like an idiot,

hows about u deserve it because u scheduled ur wedding for a time u could potentially get ur period, and once again because u went so overboard on ur dress that u can't function. and third because u worry about stuff like that in the first place, why get married to somebody who is grossed out by a natural human process that he's gonna have to deal with, i'm a guy btw and not all of us are squeamish losers

#9 - Some people have such heavy periods (even while on birth control) that they leak through a super plus tampon AND a pad in less than an hour. THAT'S who wears pads after the age of 16. Consider yourself lucky it doesn't happen to you.

#182 - For a lot of women, the menstrual cycle does interfere with daily life. Some women get PMDD and have severe mood, emotion, and physical issues. Some women have a very heavy period which causes them to have to go to the bathroom every 30 minutes. Some women have endometriosis and/or ovarian cysts that cause them to experience extreme, paralyzing pain. So contratulations if your period is an afterthought for you - not all women are so fortunate.

#182


FINALLY someone who has some brains. Why should a little blood ruin your wedding night?! I've had sex while on my period before, without using condoms or female condoms or any kind of crap and we did it in the bed and not the shower...it's NOT that big of a deal. Plus when I'm turned on/having sex while on my period I BArELY bleed any while doing it...and I've heard from many women that it's the same for them.

On the other hand I would also suggest using a tampon AND wearing a pad...that way your pad won't get too messy and it's not that disgusting for your friend to change it, you won't sit in a huge mess of blood, which would be a little nasty for your husband with all the dried blood, unless you plan to shower after the wedding and before having sex...

And to whoever said that thing about TSS...you don't get TSS just from leaving in your tampon a little too long every now and then...I've frequently left mine in for more than 4 hours because they weren't full yet and removing them would have hurt. I've been using tampons for 8 years now, I never had TSS...

why does everyone think OP should be on birth control?!

ever heard of the pill?!

Plan your periods dammit

How could people say you deserve this?
o-o
NO CONTROL OVER BLEEDING VAGINAS PLS.

#222 you're hilarious. "I've been using tampons for 8 years now, I never had TSS." That's because if you did have TSS you wouldn't be alive anymore, lol. TSS is very rare (about 1 in a million) but it does happen. Also on the first day of your period you would need to change the tampon at least once and I would NOT want my friend going up there.

OP that really sucks I feel for you; we've all had our moments. At least you know you can't get pregnant on the honeymoon!

I can imagine how much this would for some people... but it could be kind of nice to take things slowly and cuddle for a few days. She'll have the rest of her life to have sex, and I'm sure that's not the only thing she loves her husband for. And, she COULD still do something sexual that's not really sex - or just have sex anyway.

Also, her best friend is AMAZING and they must be really close. I have put my best friend's tampon in before, and I'd do pretty much anything for her in a heartbeat. Nothing's really too awkward if you really love each other.

I agree that the pad/tampon thing is her choice, though... and totally understand how she couldn't stop her period from starting right before her wedding.

Wow, that sucks! Do you have a regular flow? If you do, I don't understand how you ended up planning your wedding day when you would have your period. If you don't then I totally understand, and that's very unfortunate. Don't let it ruin your night though! There are other fun things you can do ;)

Bummer. But yeah, you're far from being the only one. I and my sister-in-law both had ours on the big day. I lied to my Mom and told her I didn;t because she wanted to give me lotion and explain how to give him a hand job. Gross. (She believed blow jobs were perversion.)

I never understood why women don't take that into consideration when picking the date.

sometimes you have to have backup...that's why you wear a pad and use a tampon

i love how people will say things on FML comments that they would never ever ever say to out loud to anyone they actually know..... for example, going into detail about whether they prefer pads or tampons, and why. its awesome.

Planning around your period doesn't always work. Stress can change that and there are people with irregular periods. Methods to consider are tampons, menstrual cups, and/or birth control. Just fyi for the ladies! Though I totally understand if there are reasons why you can't use any of those. Sorry, OP! Sorry for the best friend, too. D:

#36, menstrual cups can be worn for up to 12 hours without leaking, with no risk of TSS. They're far less disgusting and actually much healthier for you than tampons. I love mine! Divacup, Lunette, Mooncup UK, Lady Cup, Miacup, femmecup! There are so many options that are much better and comfortable than pads or tampons!

Okay, what freak said she deserved it? Periods SUCK. And if you're a male, you have NO right to say ANYTHING about them unless it's sympathetic. So there will be no explaining to fiance. If he wants her, he'll do her, blood and all. It's healthy for the woman and a nice, free lubricant.

And 234, I would talk out loud about my period. I don't care. I talk about a LOT of things out loud.

You're husband should understand. It's not that abnormal.

lol at these reactions.
give period sex a chance! put a towel down and go for it. the shower is good too.
also, not everyone uses hormonal birth control. i'm almost 21 and don't, due to a lot of research i've done.

YDI. The only way this could be an FYL is if you were allergic to birth control.

Religion is against birth control in the sense that you aren't allowed to prevent pregnancy, not in the sense that you aren't allowed to take the pill at all. CONTROLLING PREGNANCIES, not birth control! She could totally take the pill up to her wedding day, or the day before her wedding day, and her period wouldn't start for the 3-4 days after the last pill. She could at least enjoy the first night or two, and pregnancy is still an option (since it's nearly impossible to get pregnant when menstruating happens so soon, it doesn't matter).

Even if she was allergic, she should know her cycle by now and should've planned better.

more!
tss is EXTREMELY rare. extremely. like, 7 documented cases in the US each year.
if your husband is whiny about it...well, you're getting married. he's going to have to get used to your period.
and am i the only one who never thought about charting out menstrual cycles to plan a wedding date? sheesh.

haha! religion is not the only reason to be against hbc. you have no idea what it does to your body.
i'm done with this one.

Most people know when they have their period.... Since you don't, YDI. Should have set it 2 weeks before or after. YDI

shouldn't you know when youre going to be on your period by now?
i know exactly what day and even around what time of the day i'm going to get mine
why didn't you plan your wedding according to when you get your period so you can bang your hubby?

i say.. FHL, he's not getting any on his wedding night, poor guy
:(

Stick with a pad. my friend. I don't want to stuff some foreign object up my bahooky.

YDI for not using a tampon.
And @243, good luck with sex.

planning around it is no use. stress induces an earlier start.

gross. wear a tampon.

Make sure you take plenty of tylenol or midol!

Okay seriously? Has no one even thought about the idea that nice churches and receptions aren't available every day???? You have to go with what ever date it available unless your planning like 2 years ahead for a certain date.

one word for you. tampon.

ooohhh wow wadda coincidense my friends toni and matt are getting married today!! welllll best of luck and try a tampon?? those help?? lol

you'll bleed while you're on the pill if you fuck up your routine. so, don't fuck up your routine.

if you're still bleeding, then get on a different kind.

You need to start using tampons or you're going to get blood all over that dress. Then you need to start a new birth control pack to delay your period a week or two. Duhhhh

you know people are saying use a tampon but wouldn't your friend have to change that too?

thats sucks tho, this is truly an FML.. yup FYL

71 wins for best comment. LMAO

yes im sure her friend would much rather change her tampon than her pad :S... you guys are stupid

I'll just say you have a very good best friend. I don't know if I could do that.

Sorry that had to happen on your wedding.

because no one seems to understand:

1. NOT EVERYONE HAS REGULAR PERIODS, EVEN AT AN OLDER AGE, AND ARE UNABLE TO 'TRACK' IT.
2. TAMPONS/PADS/CUPS, ALL UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL. THEY ARE THE ONE WEARING IT, THEY DECIDE.
3. NOT EVERYONE HAS TO OR WANTS TO GO ON BIRTH CONTROL.

so stop telling each other what femine product to wear, or that the OP deserves it because she didn't 'track' her period. and also, stop saying she deserves it because she's not on birth control!

did you not kinda predict this though?? thats what the pill is for!

You are getting married and still wear pads? Interesting.

one, ur a grown woman and ur not using tampons yet???? whats wrong with you, ur friend wouldnt have to change it if you used them. idiot. also u can still have sex with ur period. just put a towel underneath you. god ur a retard. ydi, theres nothing wrong with this

Yeah... if you're an adult, wouldn't you know when your period's coming? Maybe should've thought of that before. Plus it'll be hard to have sex the night after the wedding if you have your period.

Do what I do: take birth control with no off week. It's awesome not having that time of the month.
And no, there is no biological necessity for the menstrual cycle.

Too bad you don't use a menstrual cup. You could go 8-12 hours without needing to change it at all.

how the hell does anyone put YDI? we cant control when we get our periods!!!

For all those who are criticizing the OP for not wearing tampons, stop assuming that she wants to wear them. SOME people prefer to use pads over tampons and some people leak so much that wearing tampons just isn't an option.

And whats the big deal about changing a pad, its almost the same as changing a diaper of a child; except the child is just your best friend (who you care about and love)

Anyway, I hope you have a happy wedding and you'll have lots of opportunities to make up for tomorrow ;)

Its really not that big of a deal, use a tampon and have sex anyway. It won't kill you.

um boys, DONT COMMENT ON THIS BECAUSE YOU DONT UNDERSTAND.
you should have used birth control. you should use a tampon instead of a pad...

Hey girl - I'm sorry to hear that. I swear to goodness, though, I'm not a salesperson, but go to softcup.com. It's a feminine hygiene product kind of like the diva cup, but you can have sex with it in. It's wonderful, albeit a little messy. It's also way more comfortable than a pad or tampon. They aren't cheap, but they're reasonably priced. Plus, you can wear them for a hella long time.

Congratulations on your marriage anyway!

Thank you #258! These comments are ridiculous. You detractors out there are suffering from a serious case of "THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND ME." Not all human beings are the same, not all women are the same, not all periods are the same... and thus, just because YOU like something or think something, does not mean that is the case for others. It's all been said before and isn't worth reiterating, but seriously -- to each woman her own. And also LOGIC FAIL to all the tampon proponents -- her friend still has to change it mid-wedding. Pad > tampon, if you're her BFF.

You can still have sex on your period. It's inconvenient, but it works. But yeah, like #71 said, don't look when he pulls out...

why is everyone saying "you still use PADS???!!!1" who gives a fuck. some people don't feel comfortable wearing tampons, I personally fucking hate them and think they're inconvenient, so i use pads and i'm nearly 20.

that sucks beyond belief.

Tampons............... they're incredibly convenient... 4-8 hours! vs. pads, you feel gross right away

Shouldn't you have known though?
Unless you're irregular than I don't understand.

You could've planned your wedding to a different week.

u have an amazing best friend.

Seriously that must really really suck :/ Even though yoru suppose to be happy and greatful for the wedding day...you got PMS and cramps...wow ....I just wouldn't be able to imagine that. I'm soo sorry. :/

Wait... you got your period or you STARTED your period? How old are you??

Urgh, I would never wear a pad with a wedding dress. Tampon FTW.

SOME WOMEN HAVE EFFED-UP CYCLES, OK? My friend with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (a hormone imbalance) didn't have any for 7 months, then two in the same month (she's 22). She went on birth control pills to regulate them, but they gave her a blood clot in her lungs which could have killed her. So, fuck her life... and don't have a go at the OP for not planning around her period.

you could have one: started birth control at least a month beforehand and skipped the sugar pills or...
wear a tampon.
i know it happens, but there's ways to take precautions.

pads? why? tampons are a woman's best friend when she's on her period!

then why wouldn't you do the smart thing, and wear a tampon? problem solved..

I dont care how good of friends we are, I will NOT be changing some other woman's pad. U shoulda wore a tampon or an overnight pad.

there ARE tampons.
omg,id haaaate to be that friend.

either your getting married far to young or your getting your period really really late S: wtf?

YDI you have the ability to plan around it or use BC to delay it, and you didn't. And this is what happens. It's your fault, is not like you didnt know you were a woman and should expect this. AND your fault for still using pads.
And #280, i take it that this woman doesn't have this problem considering she doesnt mention have any problem at all.

I do agree with 182, but if the OP is complaining, then she should have thought of this ahead of time.

this should be a top FML bc of you AND your friend
:(
and your husband...

ok, i personally know this woman. She was on birth control and was trying to skip her period, but the stress of the wedding caused her to start at the worst moment. She did try to plan around her period, but she's not regular. she also wore a pad because she'd rather wear a "diaper" than accidentally leak onto her wedding dress.

so in other words, all you people who think she deserved it are idiots.

and she did have a good wedding/honeymoon.

use a tampon..

I love how people feel like they can come on here and be complete assholes to this poor woman, without reading any of the comments, saying shit thats already been said and responded to. Maybe you guys should pull your heads out and breathe some fresh air. Might help you seem like less of an IDIOT.

See?
Without seeing ANY of your criticism, she had a great wedding, and honeymoon. She fixed the problem because she has an amazing best friend. Turns out all you people telling her how much shes doing wrong, well, she had reason for doing things that way. So chill out.

Stop being so stupid. End of story.

First of all, wear a tampon, they last longer and are way less disgusting. Secondly, you should've planned your wedding when you knew you wouldn't get your period...simple as that.

#290 you're an idiot, and obviously a guy.
she is upset cause she cant have sex on her honeymoon, not cause shes wearing a pad.
anyway..im so sorry =( that is so awful, and my biggest fear.

that really sucks :( my period has definitely ruined good times for me. but yea i agree with some of those before me, birth control pills to skip a period would've been good for the wedding and honeymoon .. anyhow, hope all goes better.

For the people who say that "ugh, who still wears a pad," you people are severely uneducated. No doubt, they are more comfortable, but apparently you ppl don't know about Toxic Shock Syndrome. Women can die from long-term usage of tampons, so stfu you assholes - go read a fuckin book.

Oh btw, in order to avoid a period entirely, GET PRAGNANT!

And AGAIN!

And AGAIN!

One more to #293,

Why are you so stupid and naive (and you're seemingly a girl)?

A) She wasn't upset about wearing a pad, really -- that's out of context.
B) Some people plan for a wedding years in advance. How the hell are you supposed to know when your period happens? Periods fluctuate (as ppl have mentioned already). Do you not have any girl friends to know this?

that's what bestfriends are for !
:)

#299... I didnt say anything about any of that. are you sure you dont mean 294?

I have to admit, at first I chose YDI because there are so many ways to avoid getting your period at a certain time. And yes, none of them will get it down to a "T", but it'll be as close as possible so at the very least you won't have you're period for the entire honeymoon as well.

Congrats on your wedding, though. You have the rest of your life to have sex with your husband. One week is not that big of a deal.

Lastly, all the posts on how wearing a tampon would solve the problem seriously made me LOL. These are obviously from people who are greater risk for TSS because they shove a tampon in in the morning and wear the same one the entire day. ::gags:: Heavy or light, that's just disgusting. FYL for not paying attention in life. You should know better.

its called a tampon.. lol

I am so sorry. That sucks so bad.
I used to get mine at all the worst possible times too.
Hang in there- it will be a wedding to remember for you :P

you should have been doing birth control and PLANNED around it...and if you are on BC, are you retarded?

Woooow! I swear, most of you girls are idiots and/or are 12 years old. SHADDUP on 'omg pads are gross wear a tampon, noob.' Just because you like tampons doesn't mean everyone else does. I'm 20 and prefer the pad over a tampon. And the pill, not everyone wants to take artificial methods to avoid their period/pregnancy, which messes up your insides anyway. You still have your period on the pill, anyways. And who the hell plans their wedding around their period?! Your period out of all things? Please tell me now. Who's actually accurate 100% of the time when it comes tracking their period? . . . the only safest way was for her to get pregnant. And sex isn't THAT bad on your period, anyway.

And FYL, anyways, OB. Being on your period must of sucked the whole time. At least you married the love of your love and I love your best friend. She's the greatest.

306, you're an asskisser.

And seriously. Tampons. Or DivaCups. Putting a tampon in does NOT take your virginity, contrary to what many fundamentalist religions teach (not saying that OP is a fundie, but they tend to spout that line a LOT). And you CAN use a tampon if you're a virgin. Just use a junior tampon.

But on the other hand, that does SUCK. Especially in a white dress.

Birth control pills, man. If you take a pill that actually works for you then you actually CAN plan around it, or take two packs in a row or whatever to avoid having your period on a specific day. "Getting pregnant" is not a good option just so you won't have your period on a certain day, getting pregnant means potentially giving birth (unless you have an abortion, obviously), which means you will have a fucking child which would be A LOT worse/more shit to deal with than worrying about a pad on your wedding day. And not everyone wants to get pregnant/have children 5 seconds after they get married btw.

Your husband has a problem with fucking you while you're on the rag? That sucks. FYL

good news: less chance of getting pregnant on your wedding night. :)

that really sucks though...i'm sure i'll have similar luck when (or rather, if) i get married...

no, no, no, you sound like one of those bridezilla biootches who EXPECTS her bridesmaid to literally wipe her ass just because its your wedding day. Where there is a will there is a way when it come to taking care of your personal hygiene no matter how ridiculous your wedding dress is. Blech, people like you make me so mad.

i feel bad for ur friend

that's a true friend

lmfao um 305? maybe she hasnt even tried experiencing tampons? and we're all just suggesting it.
and if you refer to the people who suggested it,12 year olds? they seem to have alot more sence of knowledge than you.
cool yourrr shit.

um, not everyone prefers tampons... so all you people acting like it's so wrong. shut up

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! I mean EW
Well they say sex is better on the rag... hey he can even earn his red wings to prove how much he really loves you!

surely you would have known that the wedding was being planned at that time. but stil i feel so bad for you
i once went to a summercamp thing and theres was this reli cute guy there that i liked but i felt i couldnt do anything becus it started and it was an action/adventur camp. but i just got on with it and it turned out to be the best holiday i'd ever been on. the following february i went to spain with school and was on it again -.-

forsureeee shoudlve been on the pill. regulate that shit.

but yeah i guess you couldn't have seen it coming? but if you're getting married id say that you're old enough to know your cycle...
man your new husband gonna be a little pissed

I'm freaking 14 and i know it takes months/years to plan a wedding, and she definitely couldn't have planned it according to her period. Stress and diet fluctuates it, so stop telling her to have planned her wedding accordingly. Also, she could be allergic to tampons or not able to use bc pills for religous purposes. Seriously, guys.
Anyways, congrats on your wedding (late) and you've got one helluva bestfriend!

girls really need to stop writing things on here about their periods. its frickin gross

LOL @ #27

Wow that sucks :[
Don't listen to the other people telling you you deserve it becuase you didn't take a pill, who would've remembered with a whole wedding to plan?!

Plus to the others: she may not be able to take the pill for some reason, she could be allergic or something... Oh & what differnce will a tampon make?! She'll still have to change it every few hours except then her friend'd have to put it in for her. LMAO

Hope you had a great day anyway! :]

tbh what would you rather have your friend do... change a simple quick and easy pad? or change a tampon? yea i kow what id rather too? some people dont actually think before they make stupid comments.

grow up, 321

try a tampon?

I feel way more sympathy for her than you

oooh, I'm sorry :( that would suck. And to those of you saying that it's her fault for "not planning better" then seriously, you need to shut up. Honestly, I never know when my period's gonna hit. Lots of women have irregular periods, and some don't use the pill. It's a personal choice. I choose not to use the pill, and i never know when my period's coming. So seriously, try to be a little more understanding.

Hope the honeymoon goes well, minus that :)

one word: tampons. they wont freakin kill you. or you could torture your friend. that's nasty.

There are steps that women can take to prevent their period from ruining their wedding night/honeymoon. Go to your doctor & ask for the contraceptive injection - it stops periods for around 8-12 weeks, I think.

Alternatively, you could try the contraceptive implant. It lasts for about three years, & two thirds of women will have very light periods, or no periods at all. Some women may experience breakthrough bleeding or spotting, but this is no big deal, & a pantyliner can easily handle it. Either way, it shouldn't affect sex like a full-blown period would.

OP, FYL because your period's turned up uninvited & is going to spoil your wedding night. However, YDI a little for not planning ahead & looking into adequate methods of prevention.

omg that is a REALLY good friend lol

lol maybe you married a creeper and he will like it. then you have smother fml to post :)
