Lo Loestrin Fe Blue Pills All Month Only

I started a new pack. But then like a week later I couldn't find it so I decided to take the pills from another new packet I had. Then I found my original pack but decided to stick with the second one. I tried to remind myself that because I had a different pack I had to remember that when it is supposed the last four days of a pack, I need to take the white and brown ones. Just forgot about it. So the last four days I took blue pills. And now I am starting a brand new pack. So basically the last month was all blue pills. And I wont take white or brown ones until the end of my new packet. Is this bad?

No, many women do this on purpose to skip their menstrual cycle at times it would be inconvenient to have their periods, such as for a long planned vacation or wedding. It is basically harmless, as long as your doctor hasn't given you some reason that it wouldn't be safe for you to do so.

However, continually taking the active pills like this may cause more side effects, such as breakthrough bleeding, headaches and mood swings.

Are there any other questions or concerns?
