Need Help To Hold Off Period Until Nov 4th For Marathon Training

So I have a regular 27 day cycle and I started my pill last week and not on the first day of my period to get my body used to it before marathon nov 4th. It has been a while since i was on the pill. Im taking lo loestrin.ok,
so I got a little relaxed with hearing what you all said here. I spoke to my doctor today and told her i'll skip the placebo and go from one pack to starting another pack until i'm done with the marathon on nov 4, to hold off my period. She goes, well then there is a very strong chance if you do this you will have breakthrough bleeding for a very long time or a very long period until the marathon. Im freaked a little, please let me know your thoughts? or should i let my period come finish the full pack with placebo pills - and avoid placebo (last 4 pills) for the month of october until after marathon november 4? please help! I just want to be able to finish my training and marathon without the hassle here. Thanks in advance.

To be honest, there's a strong chance you may experience the bleeding either way. There's actually no harm in doing it the way you wan to, but there's also no guarantee that you won't experience bleeding anyway, because it all depends on how your body reacts to the hormones.

From personal experience, after I'd been on them for awhile, I was able to skip by continuously taking the active pills for as long as I wanted and had no problems, but that was after my body was used to them. In the first few months, I had a lot of breakthrough bleeding.

The only thing you can really do is try it and see.

Are there any other questions or comments?

Does anyone have any advice to offer?
