I'm wondering the same thing. My doctor suggested skipping the placebo week and starting into a new pack but that there might be spotting and it could throw off your cycle for the next three months. This would still be a better option than taking the sugar pills early because your period wouldn't start right away anyway and it might still carry on into the next week.

Do you skip the placebo pills if you start your period early?
You can, but it's not necessary.
Is it safe to take the placebo pills a week early to get this period earlier?
That would mean stopping your pills a week early, no that is not a good idea, you could ovulate and get pregnant. You would be better off skipping the placebo pills and going straight to the new pack, the day you should start the placebo - so you don't have breakthrough bleeding that month. (skip your period completely that cycle.)
If you take more than one placebo pills will your period start sooner?
Placebo pills do nothing to your body. Nothing at all.
Are you not supposed to get a period while on the pill?
You should still get a period each month while on birth control. You will usually start your period during the week that you take your placebo pills, because they have no hormones in them. If you skip the placebo pills and start your active pills instead, this will delay your period.
If you start your green pills early can you start your period earlier?
Hello. Yes if you start your pills earlier you will start your period within four weeks. If you miss any pills, you will start your period earlier.
If you attempt to skip your period by not taking the placebo pills and starting a new pack wont your next pack of pills be a week short how do you get back on track?
Yes, if you skip the placebo pills and start a new pack, you will run out of your pill prescription one week earlier. For some women, that's not a problem; for others, their insurance may prevent them from picking up a pack a week earlier. Contact your pharmacist to find out if you can get your next pack a week early; if not, ask your prescriber to write the prescription to allow you to skip placebos if you want.
What happens to your menstrual cycle if you start birth control pills two Sundays after period ended?
you will get your period when you start taking your "period" placebo pills in your pack
Will your period be late if you do not take the green pills?
In some birth control brands, the green pills are active pills and should not be skipped. In other brands, the green pills are placebos (sugar pills or reminder pills) and can be skipped. Talk to your pharmacist or health care provider to get information specific to your brand of birth control pills. If you skip active pills, your period will be early and you increase the risk of pregnancy. If you skip placebo pills, your period will be delayed.
How many days into the placebo pills does it take to get your period?
It depends on your individual body chemistry.
Can you stall your period with birth control pills?
Yes, but if you'd like to do so, it makes sense to plan early, as you may experience breakthrough bleeding when you first start to use them, or when you first start to skip placebo pills.
What should you do if your period comes before your placebo pills?
keep taking your active pills, your cycle will balance itself out after a few months of being on bc pills
If taking birth control when should you start your menstrual cycle?
Your period usually comes during the placebo pills week(sugar pills).
