Skipping your period on the Birth Control pill, whether it happens with normal use or because you skipped the placebo week on purpose, isn't bad. It doesn't increase the risk of pregnancy, and causes no damage.

Started pill before period and skipped then skipped sugar and skipped pdagain Now have period for a week and you are only 2 weeks into your pills when will it go away did you completely mess up your c?
Hi, When you skip a sugar pill this does not effect your cycle. Skipping a active pill will effect your cycle. Skipping one active pill not only causes your period to arrive earlier but also puts you at risk of pregnancy. Skipping more than one active pill and the risk increases. See your doctor for a bloo test to determine if you've conceived or not. Meanwhile use a condom every time you have intercourse.

How can you intentionally delay your menses?
One way is if you are on the birth control pill. Skipping the white pills (colors may vary) or blanks as we know it, will cause you not to have a period.
If you have never taken the pill can you start a new pack to prevent getting your period?
All I know is that if you continuously take the pill, you will not have your period. This means the week that you should start your period, you would start a new pack. I skipped one month, but by the time I got through my second pack of pills, stopped taking the pill so I would have my period. I just felt so bloated and yucky. If skipping your periods is why you want to go on the pill, I suggest something like Seasonique. You only have your period every 3 months.
