Pill Question!!!!
2
Tue, 08-22-2006 - 11:13pm

My period ended last week, and I would like to almost prolong my next period because I am going away.

I have been thinking about going on the pill. I was on it about 2 years ago for cramps, but I came off it. I'm starting to get really bad cramps again, and think it might be a good idea.

If I start taking the pill this week- will my next period be prolonged since my period only ended last week?

Also, a friend of mine takes Apri- does anyone know anything about that pill? I took Ortho Tri-Cyclen and wasn't too crazy about it (mood swings, gained 20 lbs).

Thanks everyone!!!

If you haven't had a pap within the last year (if you're in the US), you'll need to get one to get a prescription for birth control.
