I want to skip my period this month! I am on Tri-Sprintec (tricyclic birth control.) I just finished the second week of pills (taken 14 pills so far). It is now February 25th...on March 9th, I am going to Cancun with my boyfriend for a week. This is unfortunate because I am supposed to get my period around that time! Should I stop taking pills now to induce a period early (does that work?), and just start a new pack on March 2nd, so that I’ll have a week of pills before having sex? OR should I keep taking my active pills and skip the inactive/placebo week by starting a new pack? If I choose this route, should I start the new pack on the third week(high level progesterone) or on the first week (I’ve heard this causes break through bleeding?) I’m a college student and it’s hard for me to get in to see a doctor and ask right now! Please help thanks so much!!
