Well, I talked to my hubby last night who is a doctor and he said that the skipping your period thing works for SOME types of birth control pills, but not others. He said that it DOES NOT work for Ortho TriCylen because it is "tri-phasic." He said that skipping the "period week" of pills only works for birth control pills that are "mono-phasic." From what I gathered, that means that it only works for birth control pills that have the same levels of hormones of each pill every single day of the month. Apparently, it does not work for birth control pills that have different levels of hormones for each week of the month, like Ortho TriCyclen. Sorry to get everyone confused!
