Q: Can I Skip My Period?advice Please!!

I am getting ready to finish up my 2nd month of ortho lo and I am due to get my period next tues 8/21. The thing is is that this fri I leave for a vegas vacation and I really dont want to have my period while I am out there. It will only last til fri., but I am wondering if I will screw anything up if I skip the sugar pills and move on to the next pack. I dont want my body to go in wacko mode because it is still getting used to the new brand. I was on cyclessa. I switched because of my complection problems. It's finally clearing up and I feel pretty again. What would you do? Just get the period and deal with it(it is usually light after the first day) or should I attempt to skip it??? Thnx for your input! Very Happy

If your period is light and you don't really have cramps I would just do as you normally would. If you do decide to skip your placebo pills, you could still end up having an almost normal period that might possibly even last longer. You might not but that's a chance you take when messing with hormones.

Skipping your period takes a couple months to work. It probably won't work this soon.
