Skipping two periods on Microgynon

I’ve skipped two periods on the microgynon pill, is it safe to do that and not get pregnant while I’ve skilled two periods?

Dunno. I'd pee on a stick to check I wasn't pregnant, if I were you.
If you mean that you have run the packs together without a break then that is fine :smile: you can run 3 packs together to avoid having a period and it shouldn't cause issues. As long as you have been taking your pill correctly every day then you will still have been protected against pregnancy.
If you are worried then take a pregnancy test, but running packs together is quite a normal practice.

Yes.

There's at least one brand of combined pill that does that normally: you take almost three months of normal pills and then have a week's break for a withdrawal bleed. The company that produces it paid for trials that others haven't done, but taking any 'monophasic' (i.e. all the active pills are the same) combination pill will have the same effect.
