"Skipping" my period...

[JimiThing]

I have been on Ortho-Tricyclen-Lo for just over two months now, and I knew that I was going to have my period while I'm traveling over the holidays. (On a bus full of people for over 20 hours) So I decided to skip the green 'placebo' pills and start my new pack immediately. So this Sunday I started my new pack, went to sleep and when I woke up I found that I had started my period! I have taken Monday's pill at my regular time, but I still have my period. Is there any reason for this? I remember hearing something somewhere about "breakthrough bleeding", could it be that?

Thanks in advance for y'alls help.

hmmm if you skipped a pill thing( i donno to much on pills ) that coulda done something to your period cuz i mean pills are what regulates it ( these are birth control pills right ?? ) You skipped it and it went to soemoen where else in a different cyle in you months so yeah soething woulda happened... i donno too much about this so look it up or ask a doctor.
If it not birth control then it probably did soemthing to your cycle and if it keeps acting up like that for say two months or 3 then get that checked out they may have to give you smaller or bigger dosage depending on what it is doing to your body.

yes normally skipping the placebo pills and going straight to the new pack would have skipped your period.
altho, like you said you just started only 2 months ago
i too started the same ones and im on my 2cd pack. it takes more than 2 months to get your body used to them.
i think you picked too early of a time to start messing around w/ your pills
say if you had been on them for 6 months and did what you did it probably would have worked.

Seems like that your body is not used to pills yet. I mean, it's only been 2 months. Also, an advice I got from the nurse, before you think of doing something like thta, especially for the first time, talk to your doctor, or at least a nurse. They would know a bit more about it, and be able to help you much much better and keep you safe.
