Hello Empowher,
Im on birth control (cilest) and I am going to a festival next weekend. I am due my withdrawal bleed so I have carried on to a new packet of pills without having a withdrawal bleed to prevent this. The festival ends on Sunday, so could I stop taking my pills on Sunday and have a withdrawal bleed then? Or will this mess up my birth control? In My birth control there is Ethinylestradiol 35 micrograms and norgestimate 250 micrograms in each and every pill.
Thankyou.

Hi Anon,
Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community.
It is likely that your withdrawal bleeding will begin on Sunday, but I can't say for sure. If you alter the way you take your birth control pills you should expect your menstrual cycle to be irregular for potentially 2-4 months.
I hope this helps.
Be well,
