yes thats fine you can continue taking your pill without a break for several months. just have a break every now and then to make sure your not pregnant

You're fine. Your cycles are on pill cycle meaning, you will not get anything until you stop your pill to tell your system to get it. For instance, take Seasonale for example, that's a 3 month pill non stop and then you stop it for 7 days and get it then so you actually go 3 months without a cycle. You can do that to not get it at some point or even when you don't want to get it on vacation. Like I said your body is on pill cycle, pill period is what it's called. So you should be fine and still protected. Unless you stop it to get your cycle, then you won't be protected any more. FYI: Depending on the pill you take there may be a web sight that will better explain a pill period. Most have web sights for additional info.

that is not dangerous they have this new method of pills out now that you take them for 3 months and then off for a week when you get your period. You can go without your period for a while and it won't hurt you. That method of BC pills is that you only have a period 4 times a yr. I was on Depo Provera for 5 yrs and I didn't get a period for that long and I am fine

if your on the pill then the 21 days are on the packet and once that is finished that is your 7 day break before you start another packet...i would stop an get back into routine with it again then everything should be alright and you'll get your period you've just too many hormones at the minute,ok?

you will def be protected still you only are not when you stop taking it. I suggest you have a break but here are no serious effects, ( well i havn't had any) i used to take the pill back to back and only have a period every other time as I hate having periods.

Hi, yes you are fine if you have taken it continously without missing a pill and that you havn't used anti biotics or had a tummy upset. This is recommended for people who do not want a period to spoil a holiday or honeymoon.

i think its fine, this is a well known thing to do if you're is going on holiday etc and don't want a period, but check out the packet or with your nurse. My friends doc recomended she do it when she went travelling in underdevelloped countries for months at a time. But again, double check with the professional please!!!

you will be protected, as long as you take a break after this packet youll be fine,and as long as yu've taken them correctly also.a lot of women do this to prevent period for a month for example going on holiday etc.

No you're fine, they call this 'back to back'. My friend does it when she goes camping or on holiday so she doesn't come on.
Finish this pack and then take your normal 7 days off, you're still safe...
