I just started the pill orthocyclen and wanted to ask about breakthrough bleeding.?
It is my first pack and I am only starting it to delay my period. I have an anniversary with my husband and do not want to be on the rag. We have very limited time together because of his work. He has had a vasectomy, so its not for birth control. I only want to avoid my period from October 6th -11th.
My intent was to start this pack and skip the placebos , going straight into the next pack. (thus skipping a period). I started the pack on Sun Sept 9th. The problem is I am having bad breakthrough bleeding everyday(nearly as bad as a regular period) I take it the same time every day and dont miss. When I used to take this pill regularly , I didnt do this, even on the 1st pack.
I am wondering, should i keep taking it and hope I dont have my period or the bleeding just stops.
Or , since its getting so close to the placebos, should I stop taking them a few days early early, inducing my period early?
