I want to skip my period. Can I skip the white pills on sprintec and start a new pack?

Everyone is different. My doctor told me I can skip but that doesn't mean everyone is in the same boat. You should ask your doctor first. All I had to do was send a simple email and she said yes.

I had the same issue for years. I finally went in to have a hormone panel done and my testosterone was through the roof! I think its best to request a hormone panel to see where you're at. You might need a higher or lower dosage to help you get to normal levels.

You can but you will bleed and start to cramp eventually, trust me I skipped a period last month and now I've been bleeding for 3 weeks straight, your body has to get rid of the blood somehow, but then again everyone is different

Did this work did you spot at all? I hate having a period! And I been on it for like 3 months now but I want my period to be shorter so if I just take all my blue pills and only like 3 of the white pills how long will my period last and did it mess up your period scehdule?

Ordered my Rx. of Sprintec 28 day and I had no refills left pharmacist had to get okay from family doctor. Family doctor took awhile to okay it. I got my Rx. but the Pharmacist told me to wait till this month's period is over then start taking it. I was due yesterday for period and never got it. I was intimate with my partner, but it was protected. Should I start taking my medicine to get my period this month?!?

Yes it did mess up my period, I personally don't think it's a good idea to skip your white pills, but then again im not a doctor, but from my experience you may not have a period the first time you skip but eventually you will bleed it may be worse because you'll be cramping, also with time while taking the whole pack of pills your period may get shorter with less cramps, I would talk to your doctor first

I'm on the Tri-Lo Sprintec and I wanted to skip my period next month because I don't want to have my period while I'm out of town. I don't normally skip my period so I'm hoping it'll work.

Hi. My period is in a week and I'm going on vacation the same day it starts. Can I start sprintec today and have a possibility that it would not come? Btw, I'm on the mini-pill now.

You can but there may be a possibility that you'll start spotting on the day your suppose to start your period. You also may have some cramping and you may not, it really depends on your body, but I would recommend that you try to take your pills regularly after this pack about the same time every day

It's just simply breakthrough bleeding it can happen at any time even if you are only taking the active pills

3 weeks ago, I missed a week of sprintec, so I tried doubling up each day to catch back up. I'm all caught up now and I'm supposed to have my period in 5 days. I've been having cramps for a week now and I'm worried my period will not come or that I possibly did damage to myself because I took so much sprintec to catch back up. Did I harm anything?

Hi there! I just started taking the sprintec pills today & am getting married and have my honey moon in September of this year. My question is how do I skip my period for the whole month of September? Is it effective and how do I go about doing so. I need replies to be as detailed as possible so I make sure this works. I do not want to have my period on my wedding day nor my honey moon! Help a girl out!!!!

Its normal because you body is trying to get rid of old blood, honestly its best to rotate skipping your periods if you too it too much it wont work anymore and your period is just going to start happening because your body needs to. You cant skip yoir period forever sadly.

It's normal for your flow to be dark brown or even black because of how sprintec changes the uterine lining, it's nothing to worry about :)

I’ve been on sprintec for almost two years now and have never skipped a period. Now I want to. Today is Sunday so I need to start taking the placebo pills, but I don’t want my period on Saturday or Sunday. Should I skip the entire placebo pills or just take half placebo and start a new pack?

I have taken sprintec as far as I can remember. To skip your period, the Sunday the placebo pills start don’t take them. Just skip the whole week. And start another pack. Sometimes you can get multiple packs at one time. My insurance pays for 3 at a time so I skip my placebo pills sometimes 3months and then take them the next pack or sometimes skip only two. Over time the blood will build up and you will spot during that week if you skip too many months or even end up having a period for a couple of weeks. And let me tell you that’s awful! And then when it is time for a period it will take up until Wednesday or a Thursday for you to actually start bleeding. But it usually ends before that Monday. I would recommend missing two months worth then having it on the third month. Or start off at every other month then move to two months. You will have break through bleeding at first.
