Ladies would you opt out of a beach vacation if it was scheduled on your period?

Question

I’m feeling bummed out because me and 4 other ladies have a quick little trip to the beach planned except of course it falls on literally all of my period days, which my periods are kind of rough cramp wise and such. I’m still paying all my fees for the hotel and such since it was split between us but I don’t know if I should force myself to go and try to have fun or just not go but I feel bad even though I’d be paying all my prices. What would you do?

No, I have learned what works for me during those times.

What would you do?  Most of us have figured out to not having menstruation dictate plans pretty quickly.

If you are an adult and you are still doing this, you should talk with your OB to come up with solutions.

What Lord Bacon said.  Call the doctor and start the pill a month before. I did that for my honeymoon. No way I was gonna be a bleeding mess on my wedding day.

Go. Keeping active and distracted usually helps relieve cramps.

Lord Bacon · Answer

If you start the contraceptive pill a month or so before your holiday, you can keep taking it, without a break, and your period will not happen. You can postpone your period for a week or for several months if you want. It is perfectly safe to do this

Go. You will have periods for decades-you need to not stop life every month. Take motrin, go have fun.
