So I’m getting married in 2025, and since I’m on the pill I was able to figure out my periods in advance. And looks like I’ll get my period on my wedding day 😭😭. I’ve heard of people skipping their periods while on the pill, but I honestly don’t know how it works. Rather than going through the placebo week I just start my next pack right away? After that week is done do I use the following week as a placebo one? This seems confusing to follow after that is all done with, like do I keep using my pill packs same as normal after that? Please help lol. Brand: Tricira Lo (28)

you should have to skip the placebo week and start your next pack like you normally would until the placebo week im not 100% sure though, someone correct me or add something i might’ve missed. Also congratulations! I hope you have a wonderful wedding day !!!

To skip your break week you start taking your new pack at the first day of your break. However this doesn’t guarantee you won’t bleed. You might also experience side effects.

^It may be a good idea to try skipping regularly (like every other month) or testing it out to get your body used to it & see if you’re someone who experiences breakthrough bleeding when skipping so you can be prepared

I always skip my break week. It’s normal. My dr knows I do it. I have no break through bleeding

I mean if you skip say 1 or 2 break weeks in the next couple of months, it should work out that you will be on your break week that many weeks BEFORE your wedding and then don’t have to worry about the potential side effects of skipping it for your wedding.
