Ever done this!? Do you think I will have a problem with breakthrough bleeding!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Ortho Tri-Cyclen is a tough pill to skip a period on since its hormone levels change each week (tri-cyclen, get it!?)!. You may want to visit this site (below) for some ideas of how you could skip/delay your period, but there are absolutely no guarantees and you could get some breakthrough bleeding much like your regular period!. Still, it's probably worth a try, right!?
You could also talk to your doctor!.!.!. I know there is a pill or shot doctors prescribe occasionally which delays your period for a few weeks (it IS NOT depo provera) but I can't remember what exactly it's called!. Many women choose to do this when their wedding day and or honeymoon falls during Aunt Flo's visit!.
Eventually you may want to switch to a monophasic (1 hormone level) pill!. I'm on Yaz and have no problem skipping my periods - in fact, my doctor recommended it! I just take 3 packs of active pills only and then break for 4 days when I have my period!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I do that all the time, although I'm on Yasmin!. I doubt you'll have any bleeding in between, and I think its safe to do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I do that now!. I actually have been doing that for 3 years and I have had about 4 periods the each year for all 3 years!. The point that I am trying to make is, it's okay for you to do that!.!.!. It's not unhealthy!.
***EDIT*** Oh, and I have not had any trouble with break through bleeding!. Except for maybe once or twice when I didn't take the pill on time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm 17 and from the UK!.
I take Cilest (an oral contraceptive, or 'The Pill') and because I suffer from severe dysmenorrea I take the Pill in a long seqeunce to avoid missing sixth-form because of the pain!. My gynaecologist recommended it, and so I now take a full box of Cilest in one go (a full box is 3x 21 days worth, so I take the 63 days instantly - about three months without a period) and then have my 7 day break!. I then repeat this, and so it goes 3 months and then a week's break and so on!.
I have experienced spotting before during this time but not a whole lot!. Obviously it depends how heavy your period is!. But basically what I'm saying is that I do it just to ease the pain and it shouldn't affect you!. Hope this helps!
However, I do advise that you discuss this with your local doctor or gynaenacologist!. A lot of women do this sort of thing for similar reasons, and so it may be useful to get some advice from the professionals!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
