I did—I read the first post... and then I kept going through the ones following it. No offense intended, but you guys aren't exactly being consistent here...
So at least give us some final numbers. They don't even have to be accurate—just make them up. Let's say 99. It doesn't matter.

I have this intense, almost overwhelming desire to become Lisa Miller11... is that even a possibility? Please, please, please!
No. Just go back and read the very first post!

How to delay my period with pills?
in Women's Health ·
I’m actually on vacation right now... and I was browsing some medical sites—CyberMed, or whatever you call those online health portals—and they were saying you can just start a new pack immediately without waiting for that seven-day break.
(We did use a condom, just to be safe, so at least we have that layer of protection, but honestly, the anxiety is still there)

How to delay my period with pills?
in Women's Health ·
Hi everyone.
My OB-GYN is currently out on vacation, so I am reaching out here because I could really, truly use some guidance.
Last Wednesday (July 4th), I finished my last pack of Triquilar, which I’ve been taking for about four months now. Since I wanted to make sure my period didn't ruin my summer vacation plans, a friend of mine—who happens to be a doctor—suggested that I just start the next pack immediately the very next day (July 5th). Her logic was that I would essentially "skip" my period for the month while maintaining full contraceptive protection.
However, yesterday (July 12th), I started experiencing some light spotting. Is this what they call breakthrough bleeding, and should I actually be worried? Is everything functioning correctly with the birth control, or is this a sign that I should stop taking them altogether?
I’ve started to panic a little bit because I went looking for advice on WebMD, and their dosage instructions suggest that if you want to delay your period, you should take the last ten pills of the current pack before starting the next one. But I went ahead and started right at the beginning of the new pack instead.
I would honestly appreciate any insight you all might have.
Thanks so much!
