Hi, I'm currently on a 28-days pack BC, and I had my last bledding yesterday and just started a new pack today. I came to realized that my next period will fall on the Thanksgiving weekend and I already planned a getaway trip. Is it possible to skip/delay my next period by taking 3 weeks of active pill > then starr a new pack to take 3 weeks of active pill?

Any info is appericiated!! Thanks

You just dont stop taking the pill and just start a new pack and just carry on taking it till that pack has finished and stop like always and carry on like you always do

u can keep taking the pill however be carefull if they are a tri hormonal level it can really mess you up. It is best to skip periods when all the active pills are at the same hormone level. if you would like to do this ask ur doc about these types of bc
have a good get away!
