Help Delay My Period/ Get It To Permantly Start A Week Later?
(Newest replies first)

Updated

My period is very regular starts 28 days apart like clockwork. Have a big romantic trip and want it to not start on my trip.
So Dr. gave me Lo Loestrin Fe 26 pill pack samples to try. My trip is Nov 11-18 with my period to start on the 15th. My next period is due to start Sept 20.
How and when should I take the pills. There is no risk of pregnancy... tubes tied

I'm going on vacation in about a week in a half. I'm finally seeing my boyfriend after 4 months which is not too long but long enough. Im trying to delay my period at least one or two weeks what should I take? Any birth control or teas or anything I can do?

i am on lolestrin fe 28 pack and did not get my period. but had to start a new pack today. Was that the right thing to do? I did take a pregnancy test, just to be sure and it was negative. However, a week and 1/2 ago, I had 5 days of bleeding (before my pack was gone) and was inserted a mirena IUD. is that why maybe I am not getting my regular scheduled period?

Take your Birth Control Pills Continually, don't take the placebo pills the ones you start taking to begin your fourth week skip those, open a new pack and take those for 3 weeks then skip the 4th week and begin taking another pack of birth control pills. Get it, don't let your body have a PERIOD! Women have done this for decades well before the pill came out that did this for you. And no it wont hurt you you wont save up and then have a "flood" when you finally allow your body to have a period. Good Luck and hopeyour vacation goes well and DO use a Condom. Remember taking female birth control doesn't protect you from HIV Clamidia Herpes but CONDOMS DO!

Whenever you don't wish to have your menstrual cycle, you'll want to skip whatever pills in the contraceptive pack you are taking are the placebo ones, because those are the ones that induce your period, by causing breakthrough bleeding.

I am not familiar with all of these brands of pills, so I don't know the specific color(s) of the placebo pills, but it would the ones you take the last week, whichever ones are the ones that let you have your menstrual cycle.

And yes, it is perfectly safe to do so, once in awhile, unless your doctor has specifically instructed you not to.

Are there any other questions or comments?

You should just be able to skip the last four pills and start a new pack. This should prevent you from having a period that month. At the end of the new pack you'll have you period like normal. I had to do this for my wedding. I just skipped a period so basically I went seven weeks between a period.
