I tried to skip my period this month by not taking the placebos and starting a new pack (sunday) and I thought all was fine until thursday when I started my period. I called the doctor on my first day of bleeding and the nurse said I may bleed but it probably would only be for a few days but to keep taking my pack like I was. Well it has now been 5 fulls days and it hasn't let up and I have constant all day cramps. I've read a few posts on here where it says this can be normal, but i'm just worried this will continue until I take the next set of placebos (i still have a little over a week and a half of actives left to take first). Will it hurt me to bleed this long? I am on necon, which is monophasic, i've only been on it for a couple months. Luckily I wasn't trying to miss a period this month, my wedding is in july and I was trying to shift it for then, so hopefully it will go back on track. If the bleeding does continue, should it stop like my regular period would when I finish up the placebos?
It was suggested by someone on another board to just take the placebos this sunday and start a whole new pack after that. I didnt like that idea because it would put my period during my honeymoon and i'm obviously not a successful skipper, so I don't know if I would be able to move it later.
If it will stop at the end of this pack, I should have been able to move it successfully out of my wedding/honeymoon time, even though I had a period this month. So should I just ride out the bleeding and wait for it to stop on its own?
