A member asked:
Is it safe to take two packs of birth control one after the other to not get a period for a month ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Birth control can be taken on a continuos basis without problem. You only need to skip the placebo tablets and start a new pack right away. Some women do this a few months in a row and then take the placebo tablets to get a period a few times a year. Talk to your doctor about this. Take care!
