hi there,
i am desperate!

i have an art opening on friday with a wedding to attend the night after. my period is supposed to start on thursday and since i have a copper iud, my periods are super heavy and painful in the first few days. on top of that, i will be spending saturday/sunday at my partner's parents' place.

i talked to my doctor today and she prescribed cyclen (hbc), to start taking asap. the problem is, when i got home, i noticed that i am spotting (it happens for two days before period starts). i took a pill anyway.

my question is: if i keep taking the pills, will they help postpone my period, or at least make it lighter? if you start taking bc pills when you already started bleeding, does the bleeding stop?

thank you!!!

If I want to knock my period out, I take two at once and then continue on the regular schedule.

but is that healthy to completelt "knock out" your period?

Well if you're on the pill, its not a *true* period in the first place. There are pills designed to make it so that you don't have a period at all (Lybel, if you want to research). Not having a period or ending it early hasn't even had an adverse effect on my body.

but what if i'm not on the pill?

then it will just halt the shedding of your uterine lining and yout next period may be heavier.
