A female Canada, anonymous writes:

Do anyone know if it's safe (baby-proof as well) to continue to take one extra week of birth control pills? To clarify, I'm suppose to have my period next week, but I want to delay it for a week(going on a trip), can I just open another package and take one more week of it?

I know it might mess up things, but it's important for me to not have my period as schedule. What should I do?

I know this is an okay thing to do, but be careful, because I tried it and it definitely didn't work for me. I got my period anyways and it lasted almost a month. I would rather have my period than skip it like that again.

xLEAHx agony auntHi there Anon,

I know alot of people have done this due to them going on holiday,to carry on taking the pill to delay your period which i have done in the past well many years ago and it was ok for me ..but things may have changed so to be sure phone your doctor or you can pop into a chemist and ask a pharmisist for correct advise so your be assured that your baby proof..
