My period is going to start on the first day of my wedding, and I would like to know if I can take pills to postpone it.

My right side of my groin is swollen, there is a little vaginal irritation, and I’ve been waking up every night at my new apartment sweating. I had unprotected sex a month ago and a yeast infection 2 weeks ago. The yeast infection got better but then more irritation came up. The affected area is about a quarter inch sticking out and about an inch and a half long on the right region. It is tender and painful. I am 21 and currently taking Doxycycline Hyclate 100 mg for acne. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I am finding it difficult to get quality information online. My gynecologist wants to start me on cyclical progesterone, but I am uncertain about taking hormones.

I’ve skipped my period by only taking the hormonal pills for the past 4 or 5 months, now when I try to take the placebo pills my period won’t come in the 7 days of placebo. I have taken several pregnancy tests and I have no symptoms of pregnancy, but I’m concerned why my period has gone. Should I wait longer to see if my period will come again between the hormonal pills?
