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 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 skipping the placebo pills and starting your new pack of active pills, this will delay your menstrual cycle from starting that month.

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.

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.
