Hey,
i just got my period, and I used to be on
the contraceptive pill (i stopped 3 months
ago). I dont want my period in four days,
if I start to take the oral pill today,
(double dose) and then normal for the next
3 days, do you think my period would have
gone away?? Or will it stuff up my
body?
Thanks,
alice.

No Period = Ok! Posted: 11-16-06 05:30am
Hi there -
i don't know that taking pills now will
prevent your impending period. But for
future reference, if you take all active
pills (and skip the "period" pills in the
last week of the pack), you won't get a
period. It is safe to do this as long as
you wish! Check out noperiod.Com if you
want to learn a bunch more about it. I've
been doing this for several months and
it's great!

The skipping period only works when you
are regularly using the pill.
That site has great info about skipping
periods.

No, there is no danger. Hormonal birth
control simply stops ovulation, the period
you receive is only because you stop the
pill, it is not a real period at all.
Female gyn students have used back to back
birth control for years to stop their
periods on long rotations, it became
mainstream and popular recently though.
