Posts: 2418 (11/09/2009 12:12 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I was on this website and it said that if I wanted to delay my period for a week I should take the pack as normal but after the dark blue pills skip the green and take another week of dark blue pills from a new pack. Have any of you ever done this? Did it work? I took my first dark blue pill today (Sunday) and I'm supposed to take my green pills on the 15th and that means I'd start on the 17th of that week (I start on Tuesday of every month). The week I'm looking to skip is the 15th.

They talked about bleeding for 3 weeks straight! YIKES! So if I took a second week of dark blue pills starting the 15th, then on the following Sunday, the 22nd would I take the green pills to get my period?

Week 1 from pack A, week 1 from pack B, week 2 from pack A, week 2 from pack B, etc. As long as you're taking the higher hormones pills you'll hold off your period until you take the placebo pills.

I have read others who said nothing happened when they skipped. I probably wouldn't do it again-my boyfriend will just deal with cuddling

So: white, light blue, blue, white, light blue, blue. I didn't have any problems with breakthrough bleeding, or bad bleeding when done with both packs.

Which way did you skip it? I'm gonna have to call my Dr. I guess....I just don't want her to tell me no
