I know I know this is my fault. I'm on cyclessa, a triphasic pill... I tried to skip the placebo week and go straight thru the next month... because the NEXT month I wanted to avoid my period while at a wedding.

But darn it all, I have the breakthru... all my friends were like "Oh that never happened to me"...

Go figure!!! Oh well... I'll have another question shortly.

Hey ClimbingGirl...

I was on Triphasil (triphasic pill) and I was able to successfully skip a period or two, but there's a secret to doing it with a triphasic b/c pill. When you're done your three weeks of active pills and are ready to skip ahead to your next pack, dont start at the first week. Take the 3rd week of pills so that you're at the same level of hormones as you were when you finished the first pack. You'll blow a whole month's worth of pills by doing that (because you can't take the first and second week's pills to do it) but at least you wont have BTB. Hope this helped!

Also, I just wanted to suggest that if you have more than one question in a day, its best to just post them all in one post because by posting 3 seperate threads, you are taking up a lot of the screen by yourself, thus bumping down other's important threads as well.
