 You can just skip your 7 day break and start the next pack the day sfter you finish the first pack.
They say you can do this for up to 3 periods then you need to let your body have a period.
If you want to stop your periods, you should think about the contraceptive injection, you have an injection every 3 months and it stops your periods completely. Like with the Pill, there are known side effects, with long term use you run the risk of thinning of the bones.

There are also new brands of pill out that you can take 3 months straight (like seasonale) They do the very same thing as just skipping the placebo and going on to a new pack. It's perfectly safe, and your doctor would tellyou the same! Have fun on holiday!

 Hi
I understand that your period can be a problem at times but i would like to let you know about an email that i received. There was a lady that was on the injection for a bout a month ( the injection stops your period) and she died. The doctors discovered that there was clotting in the brain. So i would suggest that you get your period for a week and just deal with it.You can use tampons which is very comfortable.Hope this helped
Regards
Mail me if you wanna talk

 Hi yes i have have done this before just continuing to take the pill for the following month without having a wk off. It does work but you may have some spotting also i must tell you there are down sides to doing this like the next month when you have your period it is likely to be more heavier and more painful, Hope that helps you
have a nice hol!!

 If you want to skip your period start your next pack straight after you finish the first pack so you dont have a break and when you finish the last pack then you have the 7 day gap where you get your period and after the gap take your pill as usual

yeah it is right just carry on taking your new pack straight after you finish your old one. the only downside is that you next period might be worse then usual.

 Hiya hunny,
Yes you can do that however i wouldnt to be honest. I would go for the injection. Not only do you have to take it only every three months but your periods will stop all together. Heaven.
Hiope this helps
