Ok so I am on microgestin fe120, I take it continuously to not have a period. I have spooted a little lately,and my doctor says I should probably have a period every 12 weeks(around now -would be 12 weeks).So I am wondering about how long this first period will probably last I have a big vacation comming up in 1 week(with boyfriend I don't see often). So I will start the placebo pills today.Since my body is tollerating them well whats the possiblity of having a light period and then in a week going back on white pills and not having a period again for 12 weeks? Any help or recommendations would be GREAT!!!

Ok so do I need to take 7 non active pills? Or can I shorten and go like 5 non active to maybe shorten the period if it is heavy?
