A member asked:
Can i delay my period for at least a week on ortho tri cyclen (ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate) lo? i've tried skipping the placebo pills and starting a new pack right away but had btb

Don't skip placebo: You are better off not skipping your placebo pills as this could mess with your cycle and give you the breakthrough bleeding. There isn't a great way to delay your period by a week since anything you might do can cause unpredictable changes.
