Question
Hi
I'm not sure if you will be able to advise me or not.
I ma on Lygnon ED (i live in Australia). I have jsut tried to skip my period using this pill. I tried it by finihsiung my packet then goign striaght on to a new packet - thus skipping the placebos. WHat has happened though is that it seems to have only delayed my period - i didn't bleed for the week i was ment to then i began bleeding on the day my epriod normally ends and it now has been going for 6 days. Very light and more a brown colour than red. How am i best to get my period back to normal?

Answer
Your period will most likely return to normal after you finish this package of pills and take the placebo tablets at the end of this package. You should have a normal period while taking the placebo tablets at the end of this pack. If you do not I would recommend talking to your doctor as soon as possible.

Thanks

Barb Judge
