Gotcha, I thought you were implying that women on birth control can just skip the placebo pills by starting the next pack each time to avoid having a period altogether. Which is absolutely true, and has been known for decades.

My point was: because of the placebos being factored into the number of days for a prescription, if a woman decides to do that, then she will eventually run out of birth control well before her next prescription is available for refill. Afaik, doctors can’t prescribe an additional pack or 2 of birth control for a specific prescription timeframe, and insurance would likely deny that anyways if they did. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s my understanding here in the US.

(Sorry for the slow reply, I’m terrible about checking notifications)

Yes and your prescription then runs out early, leaving you without birth control for multiple weeks

Former smoker here. The flavor combo is amazing, and both act as stimulants, and I could get my fix for both addictions in one go.
