MJ and the pill

[SheDoesntEvenGoHerex]

I currently microdose 1.25mg every other week of MJ as I’ve lost my weight and find this is best for me to maintain.

I’m going on holiday in June ( abroad ) and due on my period a couple of days in. We’ll be doing lots of swimming / water sports and I can’t use tampons. I previously took the tablet to delay my period but it gave me awful mood swings and took a month or so for me to feel better after taking them.

I haven’t been on any contraception for years ( DH had the snip ) but I was thinking of starting the pill and then doubling up packs, so continuing to take it to stop my period whilst away and then coming off it again when I’m back.

I know MJ can reduce the effectiveness of the pill but would it work in this instance?

I will of course be speaking to my Dr but wondering if this could work?

this makes no sense. Of the delaying pill makes you hormonal so will the pill pill. As it were

You should do this ASAP if you are planning it because the first few months you may have spotting which is probably more annoying than a full on period. I regularly do this without issue, im on wegovy.

There is something (progesterone based) that just pushes your period off. It’s not a contraceptive. You might want to take it sooner so you cycles all delayed by a week

I think you might better off with swimming period pants
