    break after running two packs
    I haven't ran two packs of contraceptive pills together until now.

    Usually, when I've jsut had one pack, my period comes 4 days after I finish the pack.

    Just for a heads-up, is it likely to be the same, earlier or later?

    I'd be inclined to guess it would be a day or so later, considering there's a bigger build up of the hormones in my body :dontknow:

    Also, is it going to be much heavier than normal?

    I've never noticed a difference. I think mine's the same - and my period timing is the same as yours. Usually four days after I have my last pill.
    Of course, it could differ between people...

    Ok ta Most people are different, but if there's a general trend then I might be prepared.

    Is it much heavier than if you've only had one pack?

    I've never noticed much difference, in the timing or the heaviness. Sometimes it can go maybe a bit later for me (like perhaps more like Saturday evening compared to when I wake up at 10/11), but no difference in the day.
