Can I use Diane 35 bc continously not to have my period?

Hi there,

So, I am going on vacation tomorrow and I am suppose to get on my period about today. I decided to trick my body and keep taking the pill continuously instead of stoping for the week so I will not get on for vaca. Have any of you ever done that? I’m scared it might not be safe. I’ve heard with other birth controls it’s not a problem but I havent heard anything about this one. Because I am doing this I am extreamly bloated, will midol help for this ydoes anyone know how tou think?

I’ve been on Diane for the past 6 years. I started when I was 15 becuase of minor pimples on my back that I just couldnt get rid of, and I’ve continued to use it for bc. It cleared up my pimples completly within 3 months, however I’ve never been off long enough to see if they come back completly. I think they do tho, because I have seen a few come back when I stop. Also before I started Diane I used to only get my period for about 3 to 4 days, now its about 7 to 8. Is that normal? For those of you who have menstral craps it really does help. But I am prety sure I have lost my sex drive. For the weight gain I am not sure I did gain wait but I was getting older and as soon as I started to work out I lost most of it.

I heard somewhere that you are not supposed to be on diane for more then a couple of years, but so far I am fine. And also for those of you who are not covered there is a cheaper version of it I take sometimes. It is the exsact same aside from the name. I am not sure what it is called but ask your doctor they should know.

I hope you can help me, and I hope I helped you.
