Hi
not sure if this has been asked before..
I know there have been many threads on running pill packets together to stop your period arriving but i have a specific question - I am not currently on any contraceptive pill but I am going away for a weekend next weekend (so in 11 days or so) and my period is due then but i really really dont want to have it then - how could I stop it? If I go to a clinic as soon as possible and get prescribed the contraceptive pill, can I start taking it straight away and then take it right through? will that stop my period coming? are there any other options?
quick help would be greatly greatly appreciated!!

I used it when I went on holiday cos wasnt on the pill and didn't want a period. Worked fine for me. Downsides are remembering to take it and some people feel a bit bloated.
sorry for all the questions and thanks heaps again
But on a good point, I managed to convince my surgery to give me an appointment with the female doctor next Tuesday instead of the month or so that you normally have to wait to see her - hopefully she can sort it out for me
Thanks to everyone that gave information/advice
