So, the end of April will be the end of my last refill for BC Two weeks after I end my final (!!) pack of BC, H graduates and we're going on a small trip. How likely is it that AF will be an ass during those two weeks? Should I just call my gyn and get a 1 month refill? I heart you guys.

!!!!!!! bellaluna I would probably get the last month refill because I wouldn't want to risk AF showing up at an inopportune time, but that's totally up to you.

I picked up my refill on Sunday and my pack said 1 refill left. Shit. I will have to call my dr and set an appointment for me to get that 1 refill. I hate that they make you jump through hoops.

As for the actual question. When do you usually get your period after each pack? The way my pills worked, the last week were just sugar pills, so I'd have CD1 ~4 days before the actual end of the pack. If you usually get your period right at the end of the pack, I probably wouldn't bother with the refill. If you get it sooner than that, keep in mind that sometimes your first cycle off of BC can be short. Mine was only 24 days I think, so right around the two weeks mark. (I ended up getting my first post BC period on our second last day in France. Not a good surprise to wake up to, or fly home with. Specially since it was so damn heavy)

ravenclanna Good question! I'm a Sunday start, so typically AF arrives on late Tuesday/early Wednesday of week 4. I don't recall ever having a 28 day cycle before I started the pill, so I'm scared to see what happens now.

I think if it's after ~20 or before like 10, I probably wouldn't risk it, and would just get a refill.

How else would they control women and their bodies tho?

If it says 1 refill left, that should mean 1 more after this pack, right? So you should be able to get one more pack without seeing a doctor. (If I'm reading this right. Admittedly, I'm not 100% awake yet.) And also, yayyyyyy!

The last time I had to extend my BC after my yearly rx, they wanted me to have an appointment on file before they would give me the extension. Never mind that I couldn't see them earlier due to their schedule...

SQUEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
I want you to make cute babies on your trip but don't want AF to show up so I like the date mapping. FWIW my cycles were like 35 days when I first got off BC and I'd been on it for 13 years.
