(yet another pill thread) the pill and menstrual suppression

[small face]

my period is due in the middle of next week (wed/thurs 27th or 28th) and i'm going on holiday on the 27th to july 1st and i really don't want my period to spoil my holiday. so my question is - is it too late for me to start on the pill now and still delay my period? i would ask my doctor but on the chance that it will be too late, i didn't want to waste a trip and $30.

i was on yasmin for about 2 years until last christmas and i've actually used it to delay my period a few times before. i'm just clueless as to how long before the start of your cycle do you have to be on the pill for, for it to work?

any advice would be appreciated. thanks in advance!

I don't think starting it this late will work, I think it will just breakthrough. Can you not phone and speak to your doctor? I think there is some weird pill you can take especially for holidays at the last minute, so your doc might be able to give you that if nothing else.
