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.

You are going on vacations and want to change date when period comes?

You can delay your period by not taking a break between the packs of pills. To do this you must take your birth control everyday and at the same time everyday. By doing this you have 99.9% protection from pregnancy. When you get to the day that you would begin your placebo pills, you must begin your new pack of active pills at the same time you have been taking your birth control. By skipping the placebo pills and starting your new pack of active pills, this will delay your menstrual cycle from starting that month.

After taking the first set of the contraceptive pill how long until you start your period?

Your period should start during the week that you take your placebo pills. If you do not get your period during the placebo week, you should take a pregnancy test to be on the safe side. However, sometimes when starting birth control, your period may not come as expected because your body is trying to adjust to the hormones. Be sure that you take your pills every day at the same time so that you are 99.9% protected, and so that your menstrual cycle does not become irregular.


Can you take placebo pills early to get your period earlier?

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.
