I know there's been a lot of talk on here
about skipping periods, but I can't find a
post to answer my question.
I am currently on the pill, estrostep fe
(a triphasic pill) and I would like to
skip my period. I know that when you are
on monophasic pills you can just skip the
placebos and go straight to the next pack,
but i'm pretty sure that if I were to do
that on triphasics, the drop in hormones
would screw up my period and cause it to
start, or just spot a lot.
If I wanted to skip it, should I skip the
placebos at the end of my current pack and
work backwards (take the white pills,
starting with the highest dosage of
hormones)? If I did this, would I still
be "protected?"

Yes you wouls still be protected, but do
not expect to skip a period..Even women
who use monophasic pills do not skip their
very first try, so do not be surprised if
you spot for 2-3 weeks.
Triphasics are hard to skip on, no matter
which way you take them.
