I have done this a lot over the years, taking up to three packs together, one word of warning about it though, I get much worse periodcramps in the next period after I skip. Also it doesn't work for everyone, two of my friends are on the same pill as me and they still get spotting, works just great for me though, and its really handy if you are going travelling or have something important on.

as it happens... I'm off by a day as well. I'm supposed to get it tommorow and I'm prepared for it, but it probably won't come till Thursday (the day I'm scheduled to fly with my DH to Israel -talk about perfect timing ) As far as the imodium I couldn't tell you because if I ever touch the stuff, I am garanteed to be toilet shy for at least a week. Good luck. I hope you fell good.

I did that before my wedding and I got so bloated up I flet like a hot air balloon. Also skipping the placebos can make you terribly nauseuos and for me that's worse than dealing with my period

the one time I doubled backed two packs I felt awful the whole second month - so bloated, nauseaous, moody....I swore I would never do it again even if it meant having my period on my wedding night! But seems as if it doesn't bother other people!!

Feel the fear and do it anyway!

I know nothing about the pill, but Immodium I know about!

I'd suggest NOT taking the Immodium as a preventative as you're doing well, but make sure you have some on you at all times, so if you do get D, you can take the pill at the first sign of trouble. Try avoiding IF and other triggers completely instead.

Good luck!
