Hormonal Contraception: The Pill [General Discussion]
in Women's Health ·
Hey, I have a quick question. I just called my doctor’s office and realized I completely forgot to ask them, and now I feel ridiculous for having to call back again... haha.
I'm currently on Axia, and since I'm planning a trip to the coast in August, I was wondering if it would cause any issues if I shortened my seven-day break—say, by cutting it down to four or five days, or perhaps six days every time until August?
Last month, I accidentally cut my break short to six days because I hadn't written down exactly when I took my last pill, but there weren't any problems. It crossed my mind to just skip the break entirely and start a new pack immediately, but when I tried something similar last year, it didn't go well at all... I had spotting the whole time.
Thanks in advance!
