Skipping A Cycle - How To Start Next Pack?
(Newest replies first)

Updated

Question on the Lo Loestrin Fe packs. I am getting ready to start a pack and will begin on my first day of my period. I have a big vacation next month and want to avoid my period. Do I take all 24 blue and then skip the 2 white and 2 brown and start the next pack immediately or do I need to take the 2 white?

I've been on the birth control pill called Lo LoestrinFe . I've been on it for two weeks now and experienced break through bleeding my first week. I've now stopped bleeding and now still have two more rows of pills to go and I still have revived my period for this month. I will be ending my first pack on the 24 and jumping into a new one right away . After finishing this pack and jumping into a new one which will be closer to the month of June. I have a huge 5 day event I'll be attending June 19-23 I want to delay or possibly skip my period. So I know I won't get it for that weekend. How would I skip my period for next month ? Is it as simple as not taking the white and brown pills ?

Hi Lee,

While I don't have an exact answer to all your questions, I seem to have come across a step by step process for delaying your periods while on birth control.

The article explaining this process is linked below:

I hope this helps! :)
