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.
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?

The best kind of birth control pill for delaying a period would be something like Ortho-Cept (which is not a triphasic pill like the one you take) but I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.

Just start the new pack and skip the placebo
in the future, may want to ask your MD to change you to the monophasic so that you can skip/manipulate your periods without all these complex pills...

I wouldn't advise it. I skipped my period one month by not taking my fourth week pills and it took months for me to get regulated again. I wouldn't do it again.
