writes:Hiya!Just a quick question, I've heard than if on the contraceptive pill, you can take two packs (I'm on microgynon 30) back to back.. I was just wondering after this time, do you leave it a week or two weeks before starting the next pack?I don't plan to make this a regular thing, it's just my boyfriend's visiting me at university on a particular weekend and ..well, you can guess the rest, haha!Also, can you get your next sixth month supply from a nurse or do you have to get it from the doctor?Sorry to be so naive! Thanks for any help! xx

It is okay, however you must have been taking the Pill for at least 3 months before you skip a period by taking 2 packs back to back. Your period should return as normal the next time you reach the placebo week in your pack of pills.

Maybe your different i dont know everyones body works different ways, but its just a word of advice and abit of a prewarning lol
have a good week anyway :)

Also yes once you have been checked initially for going on the pill, the nurse can prescribe ur next lot. I actually got my first lot of the nurse anyway so they can definately give you it.
Theres probably a family planning quite close to you as well where you dont make an appointment just drop in for your supply. Try the nhs direct website for your nearest one.
