Hi! I am going on vacation next Thursday
(a week from today) and I think I am
supposed to get my period in or around
that time (the problem is I didn't write
down when I had my last period! But I'm
pretty sure it was almost a month ago).
So, I wanted to try skipping it, which I
really knew nothing about before tonight.
I found out that you have to throw out the
inactive pills (I take Necon) and
immediately start a new pack (with active
pills). This is a problem because I've
already taken sun, mon, tues, wed and
thurs worth of the inactive pills!
I've seen some other people posting on
here about possibly just skipping a couple
of days worth of inactive pills, which is
what I would have to do, obviously, seeing
as I am already five days into them. I
was just wondering does this work?? If I
just skip 2 days of sugar pills and
immediately start taking a new pack, I'm
assuming it won't suppress my period but
even if it could get pushed back a couple
days that would be great!! Does anyone
have any suggestions about this? I'm
pretty confused about this whole
process... my other concern is, will just
skipping two days of sugar pills mess
anything up? I think I would rather just
not deal with this whole process, than try
to skip a couple days worth of pills and
end up getting a weeks worth of bleeding
and cramps, which seems to be a side
effect that some people on this board have
gotten!
Sorry for such a long message but I REALLY
could use this help with this!!
