I'm on  Elleste duet 1mg. Want to put off period or not have one this month. I understand you need to miss green tablets and start new pack of white.?? Last night I forgot and took first green tablet. Will this be ok ?? If u go to white tablets now will it delay period ?

Can't help - sorry.  Maybe ask a Phramacist?

I don't know which colour tablet does what. It doesn't always work as you want it to. For example if you are peri-menopausal then your period might come at the "normal" time anyway - if you continued with the oestrogen only tablets. (if you ovulate and produce your own progesterone). However if you started the combi tablets and then continued with them instead of going back to the oestrogen only ones - this may well delay your period - but again it may not be certain. It also depends when on the combi tabs your period generally came? If it came after you switched back to the oestrogen only ones - then taking the combi ones continuously may well work. However if you usually bleed before finishing the combi tabs then it won't. Clear? As mud?!!

Sometimes I think the leaflet might give this information?
