Hi mswesb, Welcome!

Well, everyone is different so no one can say how YOU will do, but you are doing it the right way for being on a triphasic pill. Now it’s up your body as to what it will do with the hormones. I hope it works for you. Have a great vacation. Post and let us know how you did, ok?

Good luck
