Prevent your period on vacation with the pill?
I'm going on vacation with my boyfriend this summer and using the pill for contraception. I'll be taking it for 21 days, followed by a seven-day break. The problem is, we've booked a two-week vacation, and I'm supposed to get my period in the last week. Would it be possible to delay it somehow? So, skip the pill break and take pills from the next pack, or are there other options?
Hello mdljubov22
You take the pill without a break.
If you take the pill in the long-term rhythm (maximum 6 months) a mistake is not a problem if it is not in the first week after or last week before a break. Even errors up to 7 days are not a problem if you have taken the pill at least 14 days before the error and the pill is taken at least 7 days after the error.

You can simply take the pill through, so if the pack with the 21 pills is empty, you just take on the next pack.
Do you have to take them through until the next pill break?
Yes, exactly, after that you take the next 21 pills just as usual and do the next pill break as usual.
Thank you
That’s right. You just don’t take a break and go straight to the next blister. It could still be that you get a bleeding in time as your body is not used to it. But if you never had problems with the pill, you can take two blisters one after the other without problems
But then you’re missing in a blister of 7 pills, or are you picking them up until you need them again?
No, no pills are missing. You will take the pill 42 days and then 7 days off and then take the next blister normally.
No, you’ll take the next break sooner if you don’t have pills anymore
Easy to use
Just leave the break
