longest period ever

I tried to skip my period by skipping the week of the little fake pills and just starting a new pack instead. Didn't work - instead I've had my period for over 2 weeks now!! Usually it's only a few days. I'm starting to think it will never end. It's been really light for the last week and a half - but still! I won't be skipping the plecebo pills again, but what would be causing this forever long period?

The problem with trying to skip a period by missing the placebos is that breakthrough bleeding can occur, much like you are experiencing now.

If your pill is not providing the right combination of hormones to keep the lining of your uterus stable, you're going to have bleeding.

sounds like your body's "outta whack" due to your little experiment...meaning your body was expecting the "fake pills" and got something else....sounds normal with what you tried to do...sorry it didn't work....hope things settle down for you-if you're worried you could always put a call in to the doc....good luck
