So, let's say Thursday is my last pill in this pack, then I take my break starting Friday. If I pop the first pill of the next pack on Friday, I won't get my period.
I'll still be fully protected, though I might have some spotting during the cycle.

I’d just take the break after that second pack and then carry on as usual.
That's how it's gonna go.

Thanks for the help!!

Might be better if I just call my OB-GYN. Don't want to mess around and DIY this, but it's a big deal. We only see each other once every couple of months and it sucks knowing we can't be intimate during that time. Really hoping there's a safe way to handle this.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been on the pill for years, but I’ve never actually done this before. My boyfriend is flying in from overseas next week. He’s only staying for 5 days, and it just so happens those 5 days are when my period is due. Even though I'm on the pill, it gets pretty heavy, and honestly, I'm just not down for sex during that time. Uh...

Can I actually delay my period? Like, can I just skip the placebo week and start a new pack immediately to stop the bleeding? Is that even a good idea? And will I still be fully protected against pregnancy even if I don't take the break?

Thanks for any advice
