I have been on Ortho Cyclen, the
monophasic (sp) type, for a while now and
the past few months I've been taking 2
packs back to back to skip periods. So far
it's been working well. Lately I've just
gotten lazy though and was on the last
week of my pack. (i start taking a new
pack on Thursdays). I have stopped taking
my pills since this Monday, and I am
currently on my period right now. Because
I start new packs on Thursdays, I was
wondering if it was okay to start my new
pack today, or if I had to wait a week
since I stopped taking it. I hope that was
clear, thanks!
If you want to change your previous
starting day (Monday) with new one
(Thursday) you can start your new pack
this Thursday- 15th May. If you wait for
one week you will miss the first 3 days of
the incoming cycle and that will seriously
decrease pills' efficiency.
You shouldn't skip your regular periods
very often because you can cause irregular
bleeding.
