I'm finding this thread really helpful as it's already answered alot of my questions.
I went to see my doctor a few months ago and spoke to him about going on the pill. He subscribed Microgynon 30 and then basically ushered me out of the door, while telling me the smallprint 'you should be aware that taking this can lead to bloodclots, but so can pregnancy so... -closes door on me-"
Anyway, i waited until coming back from my holiday to start taking the pill (because like Brandye said, timezones would mess it up)
I've heard a few of my friends say that they take the whole 3 months supply of their pill before taking a break and having a period.
Although i can see the benefits to that, is it safe?
Or what if i didnt want to take it for the full three months, but just take it so that i wouldnt be on my period for a specific date.
I.e, if i was meant to be on my 'period' the same week my boyfriend came back from uni.
Could i just take it for that extra week and then have a week off it, or would that mess everything up?
