How can i skip my period for the month taking ortho tri-cyclen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is hard: It is harder on the tricyclic pills to do this reliably. You can skip the last week of active pills and have it one week earlier or take an extra third week of pills to delay it an extra week but skipping it altogether is more difficult.
