How often is it safe to run two packets together? I'm on microgynon 30 (though thinking about asking to change it cause it seems to be affecting my weight and my mood) and currently on my break. My problem is that because of a problem I'm having where my lady-bits are painful when touched (making tampon use uncomfortable - and they irritate the problem and slow down healage), and because my periods are horribly painful anyway, I want to ask the doctor when I next see her if I can run my packs on rather than take the break. I know everyone is going to say "painkillers and pads" but painkillers are expensive when you're taking basically a whole damn pack every time, and my periods are too heavy for pads, plus they chafe, and that is more uncomfortable than tampons, and I really really hate them because they make me feel disgusting.
So yeh, how often can I do it before I need to take a break again? Pleaseandthankyou .

If your periods are that bothersome you really should be seeing a gynaecologist if you aren't already.
Lu_C - my periods aren't intolerable if I have the right painkillers with me, but I never do, which I know is my fault. The only reason they're so bad right now is because of the pain and the irritation of putting tampons in. I might have to see a gynae anyway because of the pain thing so if I do I'll ask them then.
I'm hoping I wouldn't have to do it for long but I have no idea when the pain thing is going to get any better so .
