Skipping A Period On Triphasic Birth Control Pill
Updated
Hellohello Says:
I need to skip my period this week, and I'm on a triphasic pill: So far I've been told to A) Continue to the next pack and just skip the placebos or B) Continue to the next pack, but take them backwards. What's the best option to minimize breakthrough bleeding and minimize f***ing with my system? I'm under 35, I do not smoke, I'm in good health, and do not have any other risk factors for blood clots. I've never done this before, but I've been on birth control for several years. Advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Hello,
Depending on who or where you received your initial advice from as far as what you've been told to do, it seems like a gynecologist who specializes in the health of the female reproductive systems would probably know best. Their expertise also includes any medication that alters hormones, such as birth control; and can work with you directly on how they should be taken in order to avoid your period while minimizing any other potential risks involved with doing so.
An appropriate answer might even depend upon which specific brand you are taking as well, since some of them actually list different instructions for how they should be taken.
I hope this helps!
