I am currently on the pill and ive heard that people sometimes just carry on their pill so they do not have a period. Is it safe to do this? I tried this a few years when i first started on the pill but i still bled a little amount. is there any other way that i can stop my period coming on this week?

It's completely safe to do. When your placebo week starts, skip it, and start a new pack. You're next period might be a little heavier, and you may spot, but it should keep Aunt Flo from visiting.

 You can also go to the doctors and tell them your going away and dont want ur periodo whilst your away. The can prescribe you with another type of pill that tricks your body into thinkin its not your due date. They advise you to take it no longer than 2 weeks, you start it 3 days before ur period is due and stop when u come back off holiday.
Hope this helps =]

 Hey hun! Most women on the pill, when they don't want to have their periods at a certain time either for a special occasion or for a holiday, can take their second pill pack back to back (meaning, not leaving the 7 day break inbetween).
If you have been on the pill for a few years then you shouldnt find that you bleed until after you have finished the second pack. When you tried this a few years back and bled, I can only assume that this was because your body was still getting used to the pill, as I had the same problem when I first started!
As far as I know this is safe to do occasionally! So continue to take your second pack without the 7 day break and you will enjoy a period-free holiday! lol.
Have a good time and message me if you have any other questions, hun! xx
