Back to back pill query

Unread post by saphira2013 »

Hi Scarleteen!

I'm currently on holiday and since I knew I'd be getting my withdrawal bleed slap bang in the middle of it after some research I decided to skip my sugar pills and continue straight onto my next pack of Yaz.

Currently I've just entered the second week of the second pack's cycle. My question is, once I go back home, can I stop the pills halfway through, have a withdrawal bleed and start a new pack or should I complete this cycle and let the bleed happen after the 24 active pills as normal?

Thank you!

If you're taking two pill packs back to back, you want to complete both packs fully. So you'll want to finish the pack you're on currently, no taking a break in the middle of it.
