Postponing Menstrual Cycle By 1 Week... Posted: 07-24-06 18:52pm
I recently made an appointment for a
colposcopy (examination and biopsy of
cervical tissue) but realized that the day
for which it's scheduled is right smack in
the middle of my period. Once in the
past, I delayed my period for a week by
switching the first week of my next pack
with the final week of my current pack,
but i'm not sure whether this is the best
idea or even a healthy choice. I know
that I have heard of people switching
their period around with b/c for big
events like vacations or honeymoons, so I
know it's possible--but how should I do
it?
(i can't switch the appointment unless
absolutely essential because I am going to
be out of town for two weeks following it,
and the colposcopy is relatively urgent.)

Yes, just skip the placebo pills, and
continue into the next pack!
This may not work 100% though, many women
will still spot or bleed even if they do
intend to skip the period.Monophasic pills
work best for skipping a period.
