Fluff ... when i was on the pill years ago only time i worked out was ok (?) to skip would be when i went on holidays (omg who wants a period on a holiday i thought ) about every two years or so.
Well, i did skip two cycles in a row once and oh i felt so awful as my abdominal area became bloated or swollen looking, never did that again
I personally wouldn't make a habit of skipping that's all
I tried once ... and got my period at 11pm in a strange town and did not know where to find any tampons
So needless to say, I have never worked up the guts to try again.
Personally after that I have never wanted too. I keep thinking that if your body does this once a month, who are you to tell it to do it every so often. Not choking YOU, just that is what I was thinking. So I take comfort in the fact that I know EXACTLY when my period is coming and that I have organised it that it does come during the week, so that I have my weekends period-free And I can take out my moods at work and not at home hehehehehe
I read an article a while back on this, apparantly its fine to do.
I think in some when they do get bleeding at strange times its because the hormones aren't enough to keep it right.
Hi, just wanted to add my 2 cents worth. When I was first suspected with endometriosis, my GP suggested I skip the sugar pills for a few months at a time. I had one period in 7 months. As a treatment for endometriosis, after my lap, I was prescribed the pill continuously (no sugar pills). I remained on that for 3 years. I did have one period in that time, but my gyno assured me there were unlikely to be any adverse affects from not having a period each month. I didn't feel bloated or have any other side effects whatsoever.
) about every two years or so.
