Thanks for your >thoughts- Jamie As you may recall, irregular bleeding is a very common side effect during the first three months of use. This side effect may occur even if you never had that experience before. Also, it's more likely to happen when you're trying to skip a period by skipping the sugar pills (also called placebos). For that reason, it's not possible to guarantee that you won't have any breakthrough bleeding at your wedding, but you may decide that it's worth a try, anyhow. Have a wonderful time! Best of luck!
