New to Birth Control
Posted: 04-24-07 15:29pm

Okay, I see that this topic has been discussed, however...I have a few questions.
It's April 24th, I leave on vacation May 24th....today I started feeling a little crampy, and noticed some spotting. I'm on my last row of white pills. (I take Microgestin Fe 1/20)..I already discarded the last row of BROWN pills, and have a new pack ready to start. My question is, will I be period free next month, while on vacation? I just started taking Birth control in February. I haven't really had a normal cycle yet. Is there any "luck" for me while on vacation!?! thank you...

Most women will not fully skip a period their first 'try', they usually have spotting or bleeding that is light, but lasts a while.

You can try it, but do not be surprised if it does not work for you on the first try.

Are your pills tri-phaisc (do they change the amount of horomone each week?) or are they monophasic.

I'm on Microgestin Fe 1/20..not sure what you mean by your question, but i'm pretty sure it doesn't change. it's 21 days of white pills, 7 days of brown pills.
it's so weird cause i'm spotting today and i'm still on the white pills..(last row)...i'm so LOST when it comes down to this stuff. Sad

LIke the other poster said, you probably won't totally suceede on your first try. Sounds like they're monophasic; tri-phasic pills normally change color each week to denote the horomone amounts.
