I have rosacea which has been prescribed 3 months of doxycycline, I am keen to get it started as am in between cycles, but the end of the 3rd month will be when I'm due to have stems.

it’s fine to take during stims, it’s just not advised during the TWW in case you are pregnant. Be sure to have a good drink after each capsule, if it sits in your oesophagus it irritates it.
