can you tell me about pregnancy pills taken to delay periods?

If you are on the birth control pill, it typically comes in a packet with 28 doses.  Of these, the first 21 "active pills" contain medicine, while the last seven are placebos (containing no drugs).  If you skip the placebo pills you will skip your period.\n\nThe big deal about pills like Seasonale is that they do this without making you buy multiple packs... each pack has 3 months worth of "active" pills and only a week of placebos.  \n\nIt's been done by tons of women the world over.  You should probably chat with your doctor before trying this, but generally a period every 3 months is enough for women.

Talk to a doctor ASAP about the possible pregnancy, the stress, and what pills could be ideal for you.\n\n\nFor now, diet pills and stress can mess with your period, even if you are ALWAYS normal.. \n\nI know no one wants to hear this, but you may want to quit the pills. If you are having issues with your health as a result of them, do you really want to keep taking them?\nAt least consider switching diet pills. They are not all the same, many of them will effect people differently.  Go to GNC (or some similar store) and talk to a clerk. Tell them what you took and the effects it had on you and see what they recommend.\n\nALSO, remember you could still be pregnant. \nDepending on the type of tests you took you could be pregnant, and the right hormones are not being looked for.

I know that exercise can delay periods.  Try running everyday until your trip.  It might not work if there isn't enough time for your body to adjust, but I have a friend who works out almost everyday and she has very light to no period at all

I used to have very irregular periods.  I had maybe 4 periods a year.  If that.  I thought  it was awesome but my mom (who had 17 periods a year didn't), so she put me on birth control.  \n\nI know bc pills can be a witch, but your irregular periods can be caused by unusual hormone levels which are treated with hormones.  It isn't that bad taking 1 pill a day.  Plus, if you go to a family planning program, they'll cover your perscription.\n\nI do think you should go to the doctor and just check and make sure everything is alright.  I went off bc awhile ago.  At first I had some periods but then there was nothing.  For six months.  I went in and was diagnosed with PCOS.  I will now be on bc pills for an indfinate time and may not be able to conceive without the use of fertility drugs.\n\nJust go in and make sure everything is in working order.

My suggestion is the same as the others. The only thing I want to add is if you think you could be pregnant, take a test. And schedule an appointment asap so you can get on a birth control pill to help you regulate your cycle.

all i have to say is get on the pill. i'm on it, and it's not just for anti-pregnancy reasons. b/c i'm not having sex. it's for irregular bleeding/pain in periods. or during the month in general. it does wonders. there are different ones too...i know exactly when i'm getting it and exactly how long...and the day it ends. it's great.

yep. birth control throws off the menstral cycle and it can be irregular for several months.

i've never heard of that or experienced it.  I've missed pills tons of times and never had that and ofcourse the next day you take 2 right, maybe if your close to your period when you miss and the menstration starts and then you stop it again your hormones get confused and like stuck maybe your cramps started and then stopped if your only a couple pills away from the white ones maybe just let the cycle flow that probly doesnt make sense to you because I never take the white ones there not anything anyways just sugar or something its just to keep you in the habit of taking the pills so to me i'm saying if your close just stop for the week if that makes sense.  Plus if your hormones are confused then it makes you kinda goofy otherwise it sounds pretty simple I think your fine just gotta get more in tune w/yourself Good Luck KIMBUR

It worked for me.  A few days before I got married I started taking the pill and delayed my cycle.  Once I got home after my honeymoon, I stopped taking the pill and my cycle came in a few days.  Just make sure you take the pills with the active ingredients, not the ones you're supposed to take during the week of your cycle.

Have you tried birth control pills? they are really helpful in regulating your cycles... Also, has your OB-GYN done all the needed tests? a sonogram, blood work, hormone levels...?

Definitely the pill...Orthocycline. Its also great for regulating your periods.\nIf its a new relationship I suggest starting w/a condom + the pill.

You can take birth control pills to regulate your period. There are no negative side effects from not having a period. Women don't actually need it, most just find it reassuring at the end of the month to know they aren't pregnant. Seasonale is not the only birth control on the market that can help you skip periods. Any birth control will allow you to do this if you skip the non-hormonal pills at the end of the birth control pack and start a new pack. \nTo relieve cramps try cutting out sodium, take midol, and exercise which helps relieve cramps.\n\nThe weight gain the other users are speaking of is due to the actual use of the birth control which can cause weight gain, not just because they skipped periods. Also, for some people birth control can clear your skin up, as it cleared mine up.\n\nOh honey, birth control DOES NOT reduce your ability to bear children later on. Who told you that? Please seek the advice of a gynecologist or even an obstetrician. If you are trying to have a baby NOW then yes, you will not be able to get pregnant if you are currently on birth control. But if you want to have children later and stop taking birth control you will be fine. I have spoken with my gynecologist about this same exact issue. Totally not true. Birth control will not affect your fertility after you stop taking it.

I'm not a girl but i want to tell you that you should really think about it again. those days of the month are natural for developing girls/women. you are risking too much by taking those pills. Birth control should only be taken to control births (and not having one). You are risking your fertility. ultimately, you have the choice, while I have opinions.

Actually, you don't need a regular period unless you're wanting to concieve, and then you wouldn't take birth control. You would be jacking up your body to take a pill for a period the same time every month. Basically, the pill tricks the body into thinking that it's already pregnant (so you won't get pregnant). You gain weight, have tenderness in your breasts, are irritable and pretty much have pregnancy symptoms as normal effects of the pill. Please think twice before using them, as they are also associated with blood clots, infertility later and certain types of cancer.

You definately need to start being more regular with your birth control pills.  Have you started your period as of yet?  If not, you may want to get a pregnancy test to see if you are pregnant.  If you can not afford one, go to your local WIC center or Planned Parenthood facility.  They usually give you free tests.

No. Plus you can miss a period when you are on the pill too.

If you are still bleeding(not breakthrough bleeding) and your on the birth control. Call your dr or ob/gyn right away that is not right. \n\nDo you mean yasmin 28 birth control? Its better if you take it the same time of day i've taken it our the next day because I forgot. \n\nNausea, vomiting, headache, stomach cramping/bloating, dizziness, vaginal discomfort/irritation, increased vaginal fluids, or breast tenderness/enlargement may occur. Acne may improve or get worse. Vaginal bleeding between periods (spotting) or missed/irregular periods may occur, especially during the first few months of use. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. If you miss 2 periods in a row (or 1 period if the pill has not been used properly), contact your doctor for a pregnancy test.
