Contraceptive pill and skipping periods

Contraceptive pill and skipping periods

I have previously stopped taking the pill because me and my boyfriend had to stop having sex.
I am three weeks into my cycle and want to start taking my pill again, but if i do this now, my next break will be valentines day...... :(
My boyfriend i and are not together as he is at univeristy so when we see each other these times are special. I know that you can skip periods using your pill, however because at the stage i am taking it, is it dangerous to skip the one in valentines day - is it like skipping two? Or does it not really matter?

Thanks - i really anxious to know :D

hey girl,

I just saw my family doctor and asked her for Yaz b/c I think I have PMDD and know that I have BP... she recommended I skip 3-4 months at a time, so I think you'll be fine if you skip two... BUT, Please use additional protection until you get your next period... the pill isn't 100% guaranteed

I'm a little skeptical of skipping mine for 3 months b/c I like to know I'm not pregnant, but at the same time, for my BP, it might be better so I'll be trying it for the first time next week

I hope I helped  : )
