Hey. I was wondering if it’s actually possible to skip my period twice in a row using birth control?
So, I’m currently on Novynette, and what I really want to know is if I can just bypass the break this month AND the next—basically skipping the withdrawal bleed entirely by jumping straight from one pack into the next without stopping.
The manual says it's doable, but it doesn't explicitly say if I can pull that off two months back-to-back.
I really don't want to end up dealing with any unexpected medical headaches because of this.
I actually tried skipping my period once before, and everything seemed totally fine... but doing it two times in a row has me feeling a bit uneasy.
It’s just that I have some stuff going on and I really need to make this work.🙄

hey 🙂
does anyone actually know where I can pick up a piggy bank?? 🤷
preferably one that isn't tiny..

seriously, if anyone’s spotted one lying around somewhere, just drop the name of the store..😉

Nathan Baker said:Well, look, this sort of thing happens occasionally when you're just starting out. My advice is to keep taking them; don't go stopping halfway through a pack, because honestly, that'll likely cause more chaos than it solves. If the bleeding doesn't let up, you should probably call your gynecologist—it might just be that these specific pills aren't the right fit for your body.

Thanks for the input.
🙂

So I guess I'll just wait out these next three days (Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday), and if things haven't settled down by Wednesday, I'm calling the doctor.🙄
I really hope I don't have to switch brands because of this...😕

Hey👋

So, here’s the deal: I started my first pack of Novynette pills exactly when my period kicked in, which was October 17th.
Usually, my cycle is pretty predictable—it never lasts more than seven days, no matter what's going on in my life.
But right now? I’ve been bleeding for 13 DAYS STRAIGHT!!!!😲
I am seriously losing my mind here!!🙂
I’m assuming this mess is because of the birth control...
And honestly, what am I even supposed to do about this right now???😕
To be clear, today marks both day 13 of this endless period and day 13 since I started the pills.
Is this actually normal? Should I be freaking out??🙂

Listen, I've dealt with this enough to know how it works. If you've spent any time reading up on birth control, you should already realize there’s no universal rulebook here. What works for one woman might be a total disaster for another. You've got the old-school pills loaded with heavy hormone doses, and then you have the modern versions that are much lighter. Every formula is different. It’s like trying to find the right pair of shoes—you have to test them out to figure out which specific brand and fit actually works for you.

Look, nobody can tell you which ones are best for you—not your gynecologist, and certainly not anyone on this forum. You have to experience them firsthand. Stick with them for at least three months to see the reality. If they don't work, swap them out. Water retention, a drop in libido, weight gain or loss, mood swings, breast tenderness... those are just a few of the red flags you need to watch for over the coming months. You'll figure it out. It’s entirely possible you won't even deal with any of those symptoms.😉

I switched from Novynette because they weren't doing it for me. Honestly, I’ve cycled through plenty of other brands already—I'm still hunting for the one that actually fits my system. If you ask me? I wouldn't touch any of them if it were up to me, but since my health is on the line, I don't have much of a choice. 🙂

Good luck!

Ugh, I know. Just the thought of having to swap brands ten times before finding the right fit—or worse, gaining a ton of weight—makes my skin crawl.😢
Anyway, I'm taking them for contraception.
Hoping for the best.
Good luck to you too.👋

👋
Well, hey, I'm right there with you.
Let me know how it goes for you. 🙂

Steven Miller56 said:Here is some information regarding Novynette pills; there are plenty of women online raving about how effective they are.😉

Thanks, I hadn't seen that yet.🙂

Novynette pills contain 0.02 mg of ethinyl estradiol and 0.15 mg of desogestrel.

You take them for 21 days, then take a 7-day break.
🤷So, there you go. That’s what it means for you.

hey 👋
first things first, I’m totally new to this forum🙂

so, I have been scrolling through an absolute mountain of posts about all these different pills and everything else
and from what I can tell, Novynette seems pretty new on the scene, which explains why not many people here are talking about it.
most of you guys seem to be on Yaz, Yasmin, or Diane-35.
but, I was wondering if anyone who’s actually been on Novynette for a few months, or even longer, could weigh in with their actual experience?
I just started my very first pack, so I'm trying to figure out what I'm getting into. 🙄
Honestly, I'm low-key freaking out about the whole water retention thing, weight gain, and all that stuff.😢
