If i stop taking microgynon 30 will i have heavy periods again?!
Question: I was meant to start my next pack today, but have found that I've run out. I won't be able to get another prescription until next week now - does this mean my next period will be really heavy?

If you are in the UK, your gp will give you an emergecy supply without an appointment. Just ring your gp and tell the receptionist whats happened, and the doctor should write you up a prescription for an emergency supply of one month at least.
Failing that, if your gp isnt open you can always go into any pharmacy and ask for an emergecy supply. You will need to take some ID and prrof of what you are taking - your old used pack will do, and they can sort you out some as an emergency. You will have to pay the price of the drug plus the pharmacists fee though. Microgynon isnt expensive, so its worth doing if you dont want to mess up your cycle.
hiya, i was in the same situation as you. I went on holiday and forgot to bring a new pack! What i did was started taking the new pack on the first day of my period (a bit like starting a fresh) I found my period was indeed slightly heavier and lasted a day longer. I also found that i got less period pains and no pmt! so good and bad came out of it! dont worry if it is heavier its only for 1 period!
