birth control woes...

hey ladies. very quick question. tomorrow is my last pill before i start my placebo weeks. i want to delay my period for one week. i could totally handle having it next week, but not this upcoming one. is it possible that i could go ahead and start the new pack of pills for one week and then go back to the placebos from the last pack when the week is over? and then go ahead and take the next two weeks of pills before encountering the placebo weeks of the new pack.

does that make sense at all?

i would go ahead and just continue on with the new pack, however, my last experience at trying to skip my period compeltely ended up with me having a 2 1/2 week period right in the middle of my pack (and seemingly in the middle of my cycle).

guidance, please.

thank you. :-)

I would not suggest going directly to a new pack of pills for a week, and then having a placebo week. If you're on a triphasic pill (like OTC) you can't take the pills out of order because each week has a different level of hormonal pills. If you've already tried to skip your period, and it was unsuccessful, then youre best bet is to just have your period this week.

If you want to be able to skip your period easily you might consider switching to a monophasic pill.

i'm on mircette, which is a monophasic pill. sorry, i should've included that information in the original message. any new thoughts?

You can't skip your period on mircette? how werid. I'm on mircette as well and i can skip very easily. I can usually go three months wihtout a period or break through bleeding.

Good luck!
