not taking a break from your pill

i know this thread has been done before but i cant find it anywhere. so apologies.

basically Im going away for ten days in a few weeks and am due to finish my pill, thus come on my period when I leave. Its a big festival where Im going to be performing three times a day for a week, so its highly inconvenient for me to have to be on my damn period, so i've decided to continue with the next packet straight after this one, so I miss my period when im supposed to have it.

basically, i think i can remember people writing that it was safe to take the packets back to back, but i dont remember what was said about when you come off - should i leave two weeks until i start the next packet or should i carry on after my 7 day break or what? ta very much

    take the first packet as normal. when you finish go straight onto the next packet. when you finish your second packet leave the same gap you normally would (usually a week) before you take your third packet. then carry on as normal.

    Yeah you just run the two packs together and then take the seven day break as normal. I found that when I did this, everything was fine apart from I did seem to get a bit more moody and PMT-like towards the end of the second pack. But whether that was just my imagination, or coincidence, I don't really know.
