Hey Girls! (this may gross you out boys) what would you do?

[Kallison]

Sometimes if I wish it really hard I can delay it a week or so!

If you get that sick, you should really talk to your Ob/Gyn. Call them now, before you alter your trip. You may be able to try out a prescription before you go and at least see if it works.

Feel better.

There's no reason it should affect your life that strongly. There are plenty of options out there, even without considering BCPs.

Like I said, the Midol seems to help. I just don't feel like dealing with the whole thing while I'm there. You know how it just makes you kinda irritable and tired (especially if it's hot).... I want to be energized and happy at my happy place I'm not a pill taker, so Midol works well for me because they're small. My sisters both get the same types of symptoms and they both have a pill (forget the name) from their Ob/Gyn but they are HUGE and I know I couldn't swallow them I'm such a baby, I know.

Another vote for rescheduling. The pill idea is good, but it may not work for you. I've been on several types of BCP and have done the "skip your period" trick on all of them at least once. One type that I was on didn't work AT ALL. So, I wouldn't rely on that method unless you know it works for you. Since you are pretty flexible and all you have to change is your hotel, I would go the week earlier. Then you don't even have to worry about it anymore.

My friend is on a birth control pill where she only has her friend 4 times a year! She had the same problem she would be down for the count. Throwing up and severe pain. Now when she does get it the cramping is mild. Look into it talk to your doc. Not just for your trip but for you! You shouldnt have to deal with that pain! I dont know how old you are but it got worse for my friend as she got older. Have a great time on your trip!!

I also get sick and cramp terribly, and I would change around my BC pills a month or two before the trip.

We'll be in the World the same time as you, unless you change your dates!

 

[leahannpen]

Personally, I'd change. I was just there during my May "visit", and with the heat, it's worse!! Don't suffer, it's not worth it. And if you have the option, just do it!

 

[Pkaroch]

Before I went on the BCP I used to be the same way...curled up in absolute misery. I would never want to go on vacation like that! If you can change your vacation, I say go for it, you deserve to have the best time possible!

 

[Rajah]

If you have the flexibility, I would, definitely.

 

[Doug123]

Ahhh! Yuck!!! Gross!!! Stop talking...(starts to get woozy, sways back and forth)...I don't feel real...(COLLAPSE-THUD).

 

[DisneyJules]

Go sooner and for cheaper?! I'd say go for it. It'll take a lot of the fun out of your vacation if you go when you're sick. I came down with a horrible virus last time I went and it did make my trip a little less enjoyable.

 

[SRUAlmn]

I warned you!!


Thanks everyone for the advice. I was hesitant to post this since it's kind of a personal subject and I am so blessed with the outpouring of advice! Talked to the BF last night and he said to give him a day or two to see if he can change something. I asked him what and he said nevermind..... an engagement surprise?? So we are going to call on Monday and hope there is still availability. The only difference between going the week sooner is that Tom Sawyer Island won't be open and we won't get to experience the Food and Wine Festival- neither thing really interested us THAT much. Plus, we get to spend our last night at the MK, whereas if we go the week after it closes at 6:00 to get ready for the Halloween thingie.

 

[SRUAlmn]

I called today and switched the dates to September 18-25. I just wanted to thank everyone for their input. It makes me feel not so weird to switch a vacation around that time of the month when I see that a lot of other people would do it too

Thanks again!

If I told DH to change our vacation plans due to my "time" coming that week...he would laugh at me. we plans months in advance and Aunt Flo is NEVER on time.

out of the 4 times we've been to Disney together, I've had my 'friend' 3 times...and one of them was on my honeymoon (about 5 days into the trip.)

It doesn't effect me as much as you...it sucks and all, but you deal with it (I'm not on BC either).

DH is used to my frequent bathroom breaks anyway...I have the bladder of an infant...or a very old lady. hehehe
