I'm on my first packet of yasmin. I'm coming up on my first week of placebo pills or whatever you'd call them. When should I expect to start my period? Directly after I start taking the fake pills...Days after....? I have a vacation planned for 12 days after I stop taking the regular pills. Will my period be gone by then? It says in the instruction packet that I will start my period a day or two after I take the placebos, but is this actually the case? I'd be really bummed if i'm not done by the time my vacation comes around. Any ideas?
