Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
You can postpone your periods by continuing the next pack of pills after this pack, without any break in between.
You should continuously take the pills till you don't want the periods.
The periods will occur within 5-7 days after you stop the pill.
