Need Advice, Please Help. Posted: 04-29-05 16:40pm
Well ive been on ortho tri cyclen lo for
almost 2 years now and I always take my
pills around the same time everyday and
have never had any problems with them.
My senior prom is coming up and I figured
out that im going to start my period 2
days before it. I was wondering if is is
healthy or what the risks are to taking my
next pack of pills instead of the sugar
pills of the last pack. Which is the
time that I would normally get my period (
during the green sugar pills). Would
starting the next pack postpone my period
one month? Would that be healthy? Or
should I just suck it up and be bloated/
unhappy for prom?
Thanks for you help.

It is very unhealthy to start the next
pack early. I'm sorry to say you should
continue this the normal way and be
(possibly) bloated at the time of your
prom.
But honestly, it can throw you off big
time to start taking hormones before your
period is even done. Are you on this for
birth control or for regulation? If
you're on this for birth control, starting
early can also cause the birth control to
not work properly for a week or so. Be
careful.

Thanks for the advice. I wasnt really
sure it was a smart thing to do but I
thought why not ask someone and see if it
is. Ill get over it prom is only a few
hours. Im on the pill for regulation. I
wanted to be able to know exactly when I
was going to get my period and my mom
thought it would be a good idea because
she is paranoid of me getting pregnant.
My cousin had a baby when he was in 10th
grade so I think she made me go on the
pill to be sure I wasnt going to be having
a baby anytime soon.
