What else can I help you with?
While on Birth control do you take the white pills while you have your period?
Yes, you should always continue to take your birth control unless your physician tells you to stop. Stopping your birth control and having unprotected sex will make you become pregnant. If you are experiencing any bleeding before the expected date or time of your period, you are most likely experiencing spotting or breakthrough bleeding. This is bleeding that is not considered a period, it is however a side effect from birth control that can last up to 3 months when you first begin birth control.
Can you still have your period if you do not take the sugar pills?
Yes, you will still have your period if you don't take the sugar pills. The pills have no effect on your cycle. They are like a place holder to keep you in the habbit of taking your pills at the same time every day.
What happens if you take one sugar pill of your birth control and skip the rest and still have a light period?
As long as you start your next packet on or before the date you were scheduled to start, skipping the sugar pills does not change the effectiveness of using the pill. You may be asking about starting the next pack early. You can do so, but the timing and amount of bleeding you have is a bit unpredictable. This may be the situation about which you're asking. Lastly, if it's your first pack of birth control pills, you may have choice noticed that hormonal birth control like the pill can make your period lighter than it was without the pill.
I already took one sugar pill is it ok to skip the rest to avoid your period?
It's not recommended to skip the rest of your birth control pills to avoid your period. Skipping doses can reduce the effectiveness of your birth control and increase the risk of pregnancy. It's best to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Chemical methods of birth control?
Chemical methods of birth control include hormonal contraceptives such as birth control pills, patches, and injections. These methods work by altering hormone levels to prevent ovulation or thicken cervical mucus to block sperm. Another chemical method is spermicides, which contain chemicals that immobilize or kill sperm to prevent fertilization.
Can you get your period when you are in the middle of taking birth control pills?

If you get your period in the middle of a pack of birth control pills do you need to start a new pack?

What happens if you delay your period for a week while on birth control and then do not get your period straight away when you start taking the sugar pills?
Continue taking your birth control pills as scheduled.
What are some birth control pills that make your period lighter?
In general, all birth control pills, as well as the patch and ring and the Mirena IUD, make your period lighter.
Will birth control pills change the amount of days you have your period?
Yes, normally birth control pills will reduce the number of days of bleeding.
What happens when taking birth control backwards on one of the weeks in between?
If your pills are all the same dose of hormones for each day, then nothing. If you have a type of pill where different weeks have different doses of hormones, then you will need to use another form of birth control (while continuing to take your birth control pills in the right order) for this month, as there is a chance that you may ovulate that month. You do not want to take your placebo pills (the pills you take for 1 week when you are supposed to have your period) during the middle of your birth control pill cycle, as those pills offer no birth control protection. If that was the case, then you may get a surprise period in the middle of your cycle, and you will need to use another form of birth control in order to prevent pregnancy.
