Has anyone ran packs of the birth control pill together without taking the weeks break?



I have done it quite a few times (my pill is Mycrogynon 30). Normally when i run packs together (like 2 or 3) i'm fine, but this time i have small spots of bleeding leaking through and lower stomach cramps.

Has anyone else who has run packs together had this happen? I'm trying to work out if this is the cause of my bleesing and stomach pains or if there is a possibility i might be pregnant!

Thanks for your help!

I used to do this all the time when I was on the pill.

I would sometimes get some mild breakthrough bleeding. Go ahead and take a pregnancy test just to alleviate your fears but as long as you took the pill at the same time each day and didn't have to double up from missing a dose, I think it is unlikely.

I also had to switch pills from time to time but it was more like after a few years for me. If you continue to get breakthrough bleeding and aren't pregnant, make an appt with your GYN.
it could just be break through bleeding which doesnt mean you are pregnant.you may want to have a test if you are still worried tho.i used to run two packs together to stop a period if i was going on holiday
Yes, I take my birth control pills where I'm only taking the hormone pills and not the placebos too.

This bleeding that you are having which is breakthrough bleeding I have also had because my body had a hard time staying on one particular brand of pill on a regular basis. So end up having to change brands every so many months.

I would also recommend getting in touch with your dr to let them know what is going on.
I have an IUD so I'm not much help on this but I do know people who have skipped the placebo pills (to prevent their periods, which is why I'm assuming you're doing it). They have said that it doesn't work every time because the pill doesn't thin your uterus lining and your body needs to get rid of it. You should still take a pregnancy test though, IMO.

There is a new pill that goes on the market in July called "Lybrel" that doesn't have a break between (ie - no placebo pills) and is supposed to stop your periods. You may want to look into this! :)

I only do it when i go on vacation but stop straight after 2 packs, its just break through bleeding, don't worry
Yes, the same thing happened to me. The first two months I did it I was fine, then I spotted for TWO WHOLE MONTHS. It was disgusting and really annoying. I'm never going to try and skip my period again...it really didn't work.
