Can I carry on my pill?

[roosi]

I am due to run out of my pill and will evidently get my period next weekend, when I am on holiday.....

Does it depend on the pill I am taking, or can I run through next week and thereafter with another packet without a break in between, and be "contraceptically" (it 's MY word) covered?

I don't really wanna take a doc appt just to ask this, as I know that it can be done with most pills. I am taking Lo-Gynone (I think that's the spelling)......

You can take packets in a row to miss a break as such, but try to only take 2 in a row as I did three once and you can make yourself very ill

if you have the 21 day pill, as far as i know, it is ok to carry on with the next packet and miss your period.

have you not got the leaflet that comes in the pack?

[4getmenot]

and yes you will be contraceptically covered.

Thanks for that, I think I willl go for it. Really don't want to get pregnant just now tho! In fact that'd be worse than want right now.......

Have been on the pill for 13+ yrs, so surely am covered!

4get - Thanks, I actually think I heard someone else say that more than 2 packs was dodgy, but I would only take it for another month. But only if I am sure I am covered.........1st time me and my man have been away for a weekend in absolute ages - typical! :(

[roosi]

Will maybe check the leaflet but I don't believe (not sure tho) that you are meant to use it in this way....

May be wrong about that tho!

I have done it a couple of times for weddings, holidays etc and I've been fine. But double check the leaflet. xx

[roosi]

Thanks folks, I will give it a try!

Happy holidays for me !!!!! Woop woop

:)

Have a nice time. x

[joannie10]

what pill are you on?

[roosi]

Thanks 4 get me not, I will I am sure!

Lo-Gynone (again I think that's how it's spelt)???

I hate to put a dampner on your plans, but Logynon is one of the pills that don't work like this - I tried it and when it didn't work the Dr. said the clue is in the fact that they're different colours..... But he did give me some other tablets that can stop it happening. I can't remember what they are, but you need a prescription for them anyway I think, and your Dr. would know what you're after. Sorry, again....

[roosi]

ok not to worry, thanks Misky. I will arrnge to see my Doc after all!!!
