Posted: 01-16-06 16:20pm

Hey I forgot to leave out my 7 days chalk pills.. And I kept goin with the next pack.. And after a couple days I realized I was suppose to have my period and that I had started my other pack... Some people told me I will just have my period at the end of the next pack and it would just be heavier..Is that true? And does it hurt you to skipp out on a period? Is it really bad? Do u knwo the damage it does to your body?
Help if you can thanks!!!

Skipping your period that way is perfectly fine. I believe doctors don't recommend doing it for more than four months though.
You will have your period at the end of the next pack, as long as you take the placebo (inactive) pills. It might be heavier, it might not. Mine wasn't, at least I didn't notice it being heavier. It depends on the person. It doesn't hurt you to skip a period with bc pills, there is no damage to your body! Just make sure you don't skip that last week of pills for more than 3 or 4 months.
If you've heard of seasonale, it is a birth control pill that makes you skip your period for three months I believe. It just doesn't have any inactive pills. So it's fine!

I did just that, I took 21 days of pills and then started on the next pack, now, I have some really light bleeding, way lighter than usual, and it's over a week early. Something to worry about? Any info is helpful
