Hi Im going on holiday on Thursday
to america...
long flight (hate flying )

Now 1 or 2 days into hols my periods is due ....i went to docs who have given me a pill to take whilst im away so i dont get my period ,
Im not on any pill at moment , has anyone els done this before and would you recomend ?

My periods are heavy , but only usually last 2 days v bad then 3/4 yucky stuff

if i do take pills will i get PMT and have very bad period when i return home in 10 days ?

Basically is it worth it ?

many thanks

if you take the pill whilst your away you should stop the risk of blood poisining which my friend got when she was in america as she used their stuff over there. you get to enjoy your hoilday and the pill makes your period lighter and made mine just two days instead of 5 plus yucky stuff.

gosh poor friend ... hope she was ok ?

when you say "there stuff over there " what do you mean ?

i only bleed for 2 days then yucky .. so may just bite the bullet and have one... also im working as soon as home and period may be really bad when stopped the pill ..so another reason not to take it ..

but thanks anyway .
