period manipulation - need help fast!
Quote | Reply
Hi all,

I am on the pill and just realized that I will start my next period the day after accenture chicago next week. That is always my worst day, and unfortunately my last race was a month ago ON THE SAME DAY and I had a terrible race. Probably other factors too, but getting my period seems to really affect my racing. Is there anything I can do to force myself to get it this week? Stop taking the pills?

I think it is too late but I just thought I'd ask.

Nope, not too late. Skip the dummy pills and start your new pack instead. You won't have a period. I take the pill continuously and maybe take the dummy pills once or twice a year. I hate having a period. Saves money on tampons & Advil too ;-)

+1. I do the same thing, though I use a pill that comes in 21 packs so I don't have dummy pills. But I worked mine out this year to make sure I wouldn't be in that situation for IMC. If anything is going to go right that day, it will be that lol.

You can skip the placebo pills and just avoid the period IF you are on a monophasic pill (all pills are the same). If you are on a triphasic pill (each week, the dosage varies), you can't go continuous. In that case, just stop taking the pill today, you'll get your period in a couple of days. Then start a new pack next weekend. If you end up doing this, should use backup contraception for the next month to bee 100% safe from pregnancy.
