Need to skip my period? can I do this?

Question

Ok my wedding is set for September 27 2008, and my period is set to arrive that day. I called my doctors office to see if I could skip my period. they told me I could to just skip the white pills and start a new pack. The nurse also told me that I may have some bleeding. Has anyone ever skip there period and had bleeding. I'm on the brand tri-sprintec. I was wondering if its best to skip the white pills, or could I stop taking the pills for 2 weeks and then start them so I could throw off my period for a couple of weeks. I start my new pack tomorrow. I am a thursday starter If I do bleed I hope it will be for a couple of days What should I do?

Answer 1

If you stop taking the pills for two weeks you could get pregnant since many women become extremely fertile when they go off pills, so I definately wouldn't recommend that.

It is safe to start a new pack instead of taking the placebo pills first, you can take three packs in a row safely (skipping the placebo pills) and some say you can safely do it for up to 6 months, there are some pills that you do take that long. It is possible that might have breakthrough bleeding, but not likely if you're only taking two packs in a row, it would be more likely if you were taking more than 3 in a row.

In other words you should be fine.

Answer 2

I skip my all the time by not taking the white pills and starting a new pack.  Only once did I have a little bit of bleeding with this and then it was only for a day or 2.  Do not stop taking them for a few weeks and then start again.  It is much easier to skip the white pills and begin a new pack.

Answer 3

Whe i wanted to skip my period for the week i went to the doctors and she gave me some pills to take three times a day. It stops the bleeding but you still have period pains ect.

Answer 4

just start taking the next pills without the placebo pills and you will be fine

Answer 5

Just skip the white pills and start a new pack like the doctor & nurse said... You may have a little break thru bleeding so just invest in pantyliners, but you shouldn't have it for more than a day.

Answer 6

you will be fine I've skipped a period 2 times nothings happened.

Enjoy your wedding night! ;)

There is nothing unsafe about it. This method is used all the time.

It is just veru unreliable.
