Question
I was on ortho tri cyclen tri-sprintec and now i am on the regualr orto tri cyclen. Last time to skip my period i skipped the placebos and went straight to the new pack of pills and skipped my period successfully. Well i want to skip again for the last time and am on the new ortho tri cyclen and i was wondering if i should go about it the same way? Just start the new pack or should i go backwards as i have read? Will it be the same way?
Hi Ashley,
I'm not a medical professional so I would stress going to your physician. I don't recommend skipping your period. I would be worried about this method that it is not natural.
Why do you want to skip? Is there any reason that you would even be on the pill? I only recommend condoms, Natural Family Planning or of course, abstinence. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and we can talk more.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
