hey guys, so i go on holiday from 17th May to 28th, however my break week is from the 19th until the 26th. if i skip my break week will i miss my period? also is the pill safe to go on planes and stuff?

It’s not guaranteed to stop the bleeding, nothing will guarantee anything, but ideally you would not bleed if you continue to take active pills. Make sure to bring supplies. Flying does not affect the pill, but if it’s a long flight make sure to stand and move about occasionally.

@Yi_eune okay perfect thank you, the flight is from england to florida soo i think around 9 hours, how often should i move about and how come i need to do it?

@bluey1234 every couple hours, I’d say 2-3 hours max before getting up and take a small walk. Source NHS: “If you are travelling to an altitude of 4,500m or higher and are taking the combined oral contraceptive pill (COCP) or using a patch or vaginal ring for contraception, you have an increased risk of developing blood clots (thrombosis).” You can find more info on this online xx

@Yi_eune oh my thank you so much!! i’ll definitely read into it i had no idea it was a thing! xxx

Some people will skip the break the month before so that the week of your break in May will shift away from the week of your vacation, so if you still get breakthrough bleeding or side effects you'll deal with it the month prior instead of during your vacation.
