? for ladies that skip TOM using the pill

buffytheprep · 09-25-2003, 06:09 PM

Hi, for the last 3 months I have made myself not have a period while on the pill, by skipping the sugar pills and immediatly starting a new pack. I am letting myself have TOM this month and it should start any day now. Does anyone else do this and if so did you notice a whoosh after TOM was over. Also was your TOM worse than usual, from not having one in so long?

Thanks-
Liz

I don't know about a whooosh happening or not...
Anytime I've done this the period flow is the same as always - but I did feel a bit more crampy and headachey than usual.
Is headachey a word?

Yes it is because I am experiencing headachyness right now! LOL

I was on a trial for the new 4 a year TOM pill. I finished the study before I started this WOE so, I can't answer the whoosh question, but I can tell you...my periods were almost exactly the same. Cramps, headache, length and strength. I chose not to continue this regimen because every month I panicked thinking I was pregnant! Crazy, I know.

Not to answer your question or anything ...... But I personally can not wait until the new pill is out. If I never have another "monthly bill" I'll be happy. And I don't even have any problems with it...no cramps or excessive or headaches - only breast tenderness and the day before it starts low back pain.
