What happens if you stay on the pill for longer than three weeks?

You can continue to take the non-placebo pills back to back for awhile without any really bad side effects, but if you take a tri-phasil type (usually different color for each week), then you may still get a light period since the hormone level will drop some. If you want to do this temporarily to avoid your period for a particular week, then after you finish one pack (but not the placebo pills) start taking the week three pills on the first week, then the second week pills afterwards, followed by the first week during your third week. This will taper your hormones more slowly and you won't be as likely to get your period. Taking them back to back like this may make you feel more bloated though since you aren't having your period. I wouldn't do this routinely unless your doctor says it's okay. If you want to have less periods during the year, ask your doctor about the pills that you take for three months before you get your period.
