I'm on cilest and usually, in my seven day break, I come on my period about half way through. No problem. Recently I decided to skip a period by taking two packs, one after the other. The first strange thing was I happened to start bleeding at the start of what would have been the 7 days and this would have happened if I'd taken my pills normally, it wasn't caused by running the two packs. Is this just my body finally settling into the seven days I.e bleeding day 1 to 7 when I'm completely pill free, as opposed to day 3 to day 7 then carrying on for a couple of pills?

Secondly, I still bled. This doesn't worry me as I've been told your body needs time to get used to not bleeding, but it's been over a week, with three to go. Will I bleed ALL this time? Because that's gonna be expensive, annoying and a bind for me and the Boyf!!

Please help!

im on this pill too and if i run two packs together then i dont bleed for the week i should if i hadn't run the packs together but then i seem to bleed lightly for the rest of the pack till i take my next break where i get my 'period' again. and i also get period pain througout the pack. dont know if this is common with this pill or not. ive decided it is probably best just not to put two packs together as i end up with an extra 2weeks bleeding so its not worth it.
