Skipping my period

I am going on a scuba-diving trip the week that I am supposed to have my period. I am not on the pill for birth-control, I was originally put on it by my doctor to regulate my period. I am very nervous about bleeding in the water, especially where there will be sharks swimming around. I was wondering what would happen, if it would be safe, etc. if I didn't take the last week of pills and just went straight to the first pill of the next month so that I would just not have my period for one month.


I did it for my birthday in Feb



Hello, I did this in Feb. I have a period every yr for my bday, but didnt want one this yr( turning big 30 and I wanted to have full fun...lol) Well, lets just say that it worked, but since my body was not used to the change of not having a period every 4 wks, I started spotting a wk later...I stopped taking the pill and waited a wk before I started another pk. Well 2wks into that pk, I started spotting again. I continued taking the pill and stopped the fourth wk as I would before (I never take the reminder sugar pills....just my choice) I rec'd a period like i normally would the following wk....So needless to say It was, but it was not worth the it. but every woman is different and I have a friend that does this all the time. So I would say....go for it. Instead of taking your sugar pills...just start a new pk and you should be a...ok!
