I'm going to Florida and I just checked my calendar and I will be getting my period during the week I'll be there. I'm on the pill (Ortho Try Cyclen Lo) and been on it for a year. I heard you can make your period come early or skip it using the pill. Does anyone know how? and is this safe? Please let me know!!! I really don't want to be at the beach with my period! ugh!

When you end this pack start the next one the following day (instead of the placebos). You may have break through bleeding depending on how your body reacts to the prolonged hormones. Some women can skip many periods in a row and some can't. It's perfectly safe to do though so there's no risk that way.

Good luck
