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!!!
