@Em Oh really? I don't remember having to wait for my period, but it was 15 years ago 🤣 that's a shame, I really don't want to be on my period for my 30th birthday 🙃
If you are due around your birthday and you don't want to be on you can get a pill that delays your period I believe for two week. Ask a pharmacist about it. You'd have to pay for it but that might be an option
You can also back to back your pill for months. The only reason there is a break every month is so the Vatican would approve the pill. There is no need to actually have a break on the combined pill
you don’t need to wait for your period and you also don’t have to wait to quit breastfeeding aha
@Emily my doctor told me I couldn't go on the combined pill if I was breastfeeding and the mini pill never agreed with me all those years ago 😩
@Helen I used to go three packets before having a break when I was on it. The nurse said I had to have a break every 3 months otherwise the risk of blood clots was too high
@Jess I have never been on rivagidon to be fair. I only ever had one period a year and that would be because I'd get spotting that wouldn't stop unless i had a break. None of the nurses have said I shouldn't do this. Maybe some of the others done have as high a clot risk
@Jess yeh it’s so that you know you defo aren’t pregnant if your period comes but if you know you defo aren’t then I’d just take it asap
@Helen I still bleed when I have back to back lol so annoying
@Emily you do for the combined pill, which rivagidon is. You can only have the progesterone only pill while breast feeding :)
From what I remember you wait for your period to come then couple days in you start the pill that stops the period then you will get a breakthrough end of the pill packet
