Taking 6 Weeks In a Row, Is It Bad? Posted: 05-01-05 09:54am
I wanted to throw my period off by a week
because it was going to come during
vacations and what now, so I started
taking another 3 weeks of birth control
pills, with no week in between the two
packs. Is this ok to do? Or should I
stop taking the 2nd pack?

I've done this several times to avoid
getting my period on vacations. Actually,
just yesterday I started a new pack and
skipped the sugar pills of my old pack
because i'm going to california this week!
It's absolutely fine to do every once in
a while. You don't need to get your
period every month- look at that new pill
seasonale where you only get your period 4
times per year!... We just feel like
we're going to mess something up if we
manipulate it so that we don't get it
every month... But really, it's fine.
Nothing happens, and you'll get your
period just like normal the next month
when you start the sugar pills.
