Hi everyone
ive been reading the info on delaying your period and I deperatley need mine to be delayed. There is a religious function and I need to be in a pure state in order to preform it. Its a 20 day ritual so I got trinessa and im taking it and I was told to take all except the last week (which is the set that lets u get ur period) but I was told to skip that one
now I have a question, with trinessa is the last week the inner green? Is that the one your suppose to skip? The green pills because as I read the other ones are active pills so that must be the one to skip right the green set in the inner ring?
Please help asap

Because trinessa is a tri-phasic pill, you may be unlikely to skip a period.

You need a monophasic pill for it to be more likely to skip, and most women do not actually'skip' their first try, they need a few months to adjust.

There is a chnace you will still spot and bleed.

weight gan/skipping

I was wondering the same about the weight gain. I started trinessa about 3 years ago now, but I have noticed a change in my weight. From what I've read it is possible that some birth controls make you gain weight.

I too was wondering if it was safe and effective to start a new pack right away instead of getting your period. I am leaving for my honeymoon and on the 2nd day I am supposed to get my period! ahh!
