Q: Skipping period using micronor

My husband is coming back from a long deployment about 3 days before my cycle is due. We are taking a 5 day family vacation with our children starting the day he is home. I dont want a cycle to get in the middle of that or in the middle of me and my husband. My pills are all yellow and the last week is not a different color. Do i still just skip that last week and start the new pack??

It depends if you are using microgynon 30 which is 21 yellow pills, or microgynon 50 which has the placebo white pills. If the pills are all yellow and you are sure they aren't placebos, just use them up and start another pack right away- don't have any break in pills. This is what I'm doing because my hubby deploys to Iraq in July... all the best!
