Is there any way you can make your period come sooner or make it last for a shorter amount of time?
Hello The only way to make your period arrive earlier than usual for you is by taking birth control pills and by missing some pills or you can miss a period completely by continuing to take birth control pills instead of going onto the sugar pills. But you can only do this when you've been on birth control pills for about two months because the first month will be all over the place. Birth control pills do make your period lighter, less painful and can make your period shorter.
If you start birth control pills for the first time on the first day of your period can that period be shorter and or lighter than usual?
I found that mine was not shorter of lighter, only the following months were changed.
What are birth control pills for?
to prevent pregnancy if taken correctly, also it can be used to ease the pain of cramps...makes the period lighter too :)
Im on birth control just finished your first set of pills on Sunday and still havent had your period is this normal when should you get it?
Certain birth control pills do make your period lighter or stop completely while you are taking them. If it concerns you too much call your gyno, but I believe this is normal for some.
Should you take a Home Pregnancy Test if your period was lighter than normal you are on birth control pills but were on antibiotics?
No. it is just the pills making your periods lighter that usual. If you just started the medication it will take a month or two to get to its regular flow.
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.
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 can happen if you start the birth control pills after the period?
Period time disturbed

Hello there. Yes a period can be delayed if you have missed some of your birth control pills.
Can you use birth control pills right after your period?
yes
How can you delay your period if you are not using birth control pills?

Can you get pregnant from skipping your period using Birth Control?
Skipping your period by taking extra birth control pills or fewer placebo (sugar) pills lowers, not raises, your risk of pregnancy.
