I Want To Skip My Period

Updated

Hi I take tri-previfem and i had stopped taking it for a month because i forgot to take my pill, i tried to double up pills to get back on schedule but instead got my period early and then i had breakthrough bleeding for a little less than two weeks after that. i have been off of the pill for a little over a month now due to the mess up and just got my period yesterday 10/28, this is the heaviest period ive ever had since my very first time having a period. i have a huge weekend starting tomorrow at the beach and id like to skip this period. The Tri-previfem has different dosage of hormones for each week. Should i start a new pack like normal today to try to skip this period? if i start with the second week pill which has a higher dosage of hormones will this increase the % of stopping this period? Help!

I'm sorry, but once your period has started, you can't skip it.

You may be able to shorten its duration, by starting a new pill pack, but there are no guarantees that will work, either. Generally, to skip a period, you have to skip the period week pills and just go to a new pack and continue the active ones to try to prevent your period from starting.

The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and PMS-like symptoms.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Hey, I've been on the birth control patch for like 3 or 4 months. I want to skip my period on week 4 and I'm on week 2 now, about to end and be on week 3. What can I do so I don't get my period on week 4?
