Taking a new pack of the pill straight after the other one to avoid having a period

[SazzyC0]

Hello, I am starting a new job on Monday and have just realised that the last pill in my pack is on Sunday. I really dont want to be on in my first week in my new job. I have heard you can do this before for going on holiday etc. Is it safe? Will it mess up my cycle at all? Anyone ever done this please? TIA

Yeah its absolutely fine to do this. I used to take it for months without a break! You'll just have a period as normal when you finish the next pack.

As before, is fine to take 2 packs in a row, wouldn't do it too often though because when you go to get a new prescription they'll realise and tell you off! When I do it I find that I'm often a day later starting my period and it's heavier than usual and I'm in more pain than usual but apart from that everythings normal.
