Hi,
Is it better for hormonal regulation (to prevent new breakouts) if I keep starting a new pill pack every 21 days instead of every 28 days? How long can I do this for?
I just finished my second pack of active pills of Microgestin FE 1/20 and this month I have so far not had any new breakouts (after a very long time!!!!). Should I just start my third pack tomorrow to prevent any hormonal fluctuation? I am afraid of jinxing my clean streak. I am as it is dealing with a million red marks!
So confused!!
Thanks!
I don't know if it's better, but I've changed my cycle to 4 periods/year with Diane 35. So I just got for about 3ish months non stop with the pill and then have a period. I guess I do tend to break out a little when I finally go on my period, but I get a few during the other months too. As far as how long you can do this for, I'm pretty sure you can do this for as long as you want. For me, by the end of the 3rd month I start spotting a lot so that's why I just go right into my period otherwise it'll just get heavier.
