Delaying my period with BC pills?

I posted earlier about wishing to delay my period a few days and got several good answers including a couple about using BC pills to delay my period. To continue my question... my BC pill dispenser is divided into four parts.

The white pills have 0.180 mg norgestimate and 0.025mg ethinyl estradiol.
Light blue pills have 0.215mg norgestimate with 0.025mg ethinyl estradiol.
Dark blue pills have 0.250mg norgestimate with 0.025mg ethinyl estradiol.
And of course the green sugar placebo pills.

Im confused about the effects of the norgestimate (progesterone) and why the amount in the pills varies. Could someone help me out with that?

Which pill is best for countering the onset of my period? Which should I take when my current pack runs out? Do i just start from the beginning of the new pack? Or will the higher dosage pills of norgestimate work better?

BTW I appreciate peoples concern that I might "screwing" up my body, but I can handle it this once.

A few years ago, I started to notice that whenever I ate apples, my throat, my tongue, my lips, and the inside of my ears (which sounds weird, I know) began to feel really itching after just a few bites. It also felt like I had something hard and scratchy stuck in my throat and these symptoms would not go away until about 20 minutes later after I had drank about 3 glasses of water. I thought it was kind of strange since I had been eating apples my whole life and that has never happened but, I decided to stop eating them. At the beginning of last year, I ate a pear, and the same thing happened. Just a few weeks ago I tried eating a plum and I had the same results. So as of now, I can't eat nectarines, plums, apples, or pears without getting any of those symptoms. I don't know if it's an allergic reaction, or what. I'd really appreciate if someone could help me figure out what's wrong.

Thanks! :]

I have been getting treated for chronic migraines and chronic pelvic pain for awhile now. My doctor prescribes me Lortab 7.5 and Xanax (1 mg 3x per day) (I also have a panic disorder and have been on Xanax for 10 years). Last week, I was having a bad spell, meaning my pain was much worse, so I doubled my dose of Hydrocodone (lortab). I work in Advanced Tech Support at a Help Desk and troubleshoot high tech devices for consumers and apparantly my supervisor was told by someone I was "nodding" off and my speech was slurred and it appeared I was QUOTE "F*cked up". He took me in a conference room and told me this then asked me to leave and also bring in medical statements from my MD about my medical condition and medications. I had no problem with this and my doctor is mailing me that information but when I came back to work yesterday (supervisor wasn't there), I was told via thegrapevine, they would make me bring in pill bottles as well. Is that legal-Are my rights being infringed?

if someone undermines you with belittling jokes and won't stop when asked, is that a bully? (both adults in their 30's)
-when you tell this person they can't be in your life until they quite making jokes at your expense because it embarrses you, especially in front of other people and he starts yelling and swearing that 'you have issues'.

I know it is verbal abuse and emotional abuse because it edventually gave me axiety attacks over time and tore at my self confidence.

What when is mistreatment called abuse?
When is mistreatement called bullying?

Where is that line drawn?

It usually happens when I am lying down and my stomach is empty. I will repeat, that these are not "voices" or anything mental. My husband has heard the sound before, it's similar to a growling or upset stomach but not quite so. It is not painful, but I can hear and feel it coming from my head, I've noticed that it happens when I'm hungry. I do not have an eating disorder. Has anyone ever heard of this before?
