Typically, when u skip a period.. When you do decide to have one is it heavier and/or does it last longer? Or is it pretty much the same. Thanks.

It depends on the person. Are you talking about missing a period by not taking the sugar pills? I heard ortho tri cyclen is not a good pill for that.

I tried to skip my period for the first time on my honeymoon. I ended up bleeding for a month straight. It was terrible.
