I am taking Kariva(Mircette) and would like to try to skip my period. I was taking Ortho Novum and never had a period so I would like to try this with the Kariva also but it is different with this pill. My last pills are 2 Placebo pills and then sugar pills so do you know how I go about skipping my period if it is possible with this type of pill?

Thanks

You would skip with Kariva just like any other monophasic pill--you'd skip that last week of placebo pills and go right into a new pack after week 3.
