Hi,

Im on ortho ticyclen. Im supossed to get my period by the end of this week but I dont want it to last the 7 days. Well it usuly dont start until the 3 day into the pacebos.

Is it okay if I skip a few placebos or will I get my ormones messed up? I skipped all the placebos one time but I didnt feel so good. I felt like my belly was full and my period needed to come out. I felt like I had PMS. Is it because the pill is a Tri phasic. Im planning to switch to Yaz but have to see if my insurance covers it.

Just don't forget, if you skip some of your placebos, that your start day will have to change!
