I am currently on bc pills and i am going away on vacation on december 29 to jan 12im supposed to get my period on the 4th... right in the middle of my vacation. so i heard you can use the bc pill to stop your period if you skip the "fake" pills and go straight to the next pack.. is this correct?!and also that leads me to my next question... if i want to stop my january period... do i take november to december back to back to? or just december to january?! im confused! help!

Stopping Period using BC Pill.. Im Confused :S

You get your period, when you take the "fake" pills. If you skip the "fake" pills nd start right away with the next months pills, you don't get your period. I wouldn't make it a regular habit of doing this without consulting your doctor.
-
I actually asked my doc the same question for the same reason, and the answer (like sdp said) is yes, you can skip the placebos and head straight for the next pack and your period wont come, but i don't know about making it a habit, cuz after all, you're period is there for a good reason.

i am definitly not planning on making it a habit. thats why im wondering if i need to skip the fake pills when going from the november to december pack to stop my january period, or if i just skip the fake pills from the december pack and go straight to the january pack will that stop january?
-
The fake pills that you skip will be the period that you skip - it's the fake pills that cause you to have your period.
-
You're making this very confusing. As I said and Ineligible just reiterated, you get your period during the fake pills so you skip the fake pills if you want to skip that immediate period.
-
Take your Nov. to Dec. pack. When you get to the 'fake' pills in the Dec. pack (don't take the fake ones) start your January pack. This will cause you to skip January's period. (jan 4th like you want)
