skipped a period on purpose Posted: 03-21-08 19:39pm
well i skipped a period on purpose cause i
had a trip coming up. i was finishing up
my green active pills and the night that i
had to take my brown innactive pills (the
ones that make me get my period) i started
a new pack(meaning i started my green
active pills) my doctor said this was ok
and that you can skip a period if you do
this. has anyone else done this? i dont
think im at risk of getting pregnant cause
i started on my active pills immediately
right?

NO, you are not at risk for pregnancy.
YOU MAY have spotting or bleeding ANYWAY,
so if you do, it is normal.
You could also spot or bleed for 2-3
weeks, that is also normal.
Not all women who attempt to skip a period
will be successful.

You are not at risk for becoming pregnant
as long as you make sure to continue
taking all of your pills on time.
Spotting is definitely common when
skipping the placebo week, especially if
its a triphasic pill (any pill pack that
has 3 different colors for the 3 active
weeks, like ortho tri cyclen or trinessa).
