Prempak -C & skipping period?

Hi, I'm on Prempak-C, due to finish a pack in 5 days, therefore expecting a period....just in time for a long-awaited & very rare trip away with my DH Hmm

Does anyone know how I could skip the period? I'm in Ireland so a trip to GP for this info would cost €50 Sad

The only way now would be to carry on using the progestogens in the next pack. Not familiar with that brand but it will be the 12 tablets you take in the 2nd half of a month. Once you stop taking them you will bleed, so to stop that you need to take more.

ps- you should also take the oestrogen tablet every day as well. If you want to avoid the bleed in future, don't take the 12 tablets at all- skip them until a week or so later and you can time the bleed when it suits you, but don't do this too often or for too long.

That's excellent, thank you. I had guessed the opposite, so you saved my bacon!
