Question: I'm going on holiday when my period is due and have heard you can stop your period by taking two pill packs back to back. Is this safe?
Answer: The bleed in the seven day break is not a normal period and is refered to as "withdrawal bleeding". Women find the bleed reassuring, however it is possible to safely run two pill packs together. You should be aware that you may still experience some slight spotting, and this is nothing to worry about.
