Skipping Periods While on Tri-Cyclen: Safety & Considerations

Question
I am taking tri-cyclen and would like to skip my period for my vacations.  Is this possible with this type of BCP?  I 'm curious because of the different hormone levels.  Thanks in advance.

Answer
Hi Virginia,
I'm not sure about your question. In my opinion I don't think it would be wise or healthy or even possible to skip your period on purpose. I don't know much about tri-cyclen in particular even though I have done much research on the birth control pill in general. There are many side effects and risks to your health and body.
Please check with your personal physician. I could do some research on this and get back with you. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com

Thanks.
