my doctor told me that when i was going on holiday, it was safe to keep taking my pill instead of having a 7day break so that i didnt a period that month. the thing is, i do this quite a lot. probably evry few months. i just hate having my period so much that id rather just keep taking my pills and not have one. i dont do this every month. is it safe for me to do this or will contraception not work properly if i do. im on microgynon, the combined pill by the way.

I was on the pill and done the same type of thing. After comin off the pill though, it messed up my periods. I took me atleast a year to get them all back on track, so it shouldn't hurt you, but it will really mess up the cycle if you do come off the pill!
BTW, Falkirk, nice one :thumb:
why not go on something else, like injection or coil?? never have a period again then!
Or you could call the fpa:

Personally I rarely run more than 2 packs together because I find my periods heavier when I do have it the more I run together.
