How does this work? Because I’ve just taken 2 packets back to back and my ‘period’ started only about 3 days later than it would have if I’d taken the usual break!!!
I thought the breakthrough bleed was caused by the drop in hormones when you stop taking it, but if I’ve carried on taking it what’s going on? I’ve successfully skipped a period on this pill before, but on my previous pill it never worked.
Before I had kids I used to skip periods all the time, but in the 7 years since I’ve had kids it’s become less and less reliable. I assume those 2 facts are related!
Any suggestions? Is it time to say goodbye to the pill and try something else? (I’m 39 and will be having no more children)
