Not to my knowledge. I believe each pill contains a different level of synthetic progesterone and estrogen to speficially control the way your body reacts to the hormones - hence the lay out of the pill packs. Each pill is meant to be taken around the same time, each day, in order. So skipping around and taking a Saturday pill on Monday isn't a good idea. However, if you lost a pill, it might be better for you to take the pill intended for the next day and continue from that day as you would normally rather than miss a day completely.
It depends on the pill brand. Yaz, Tricyclen, Estrostep, and Ortho-Novum 7/7/7 are all examples of pills with non-identical pills; some of these have as many as four different formulations in the same pack, counting the placebos. Check the instruction book that comes with each pack for more information.
Ive been on the pill for nearly 6 years now. I have used Microgynon (cant remember how to spell it) Dianete and Cilest and with all these the pills are identical and I havent yet heard of a pill where they are different, so if u accidentally take a different day there is nothing to worry about.
Any pills with 'tri' in the name are different. They have different doses every week. These are also the only pills that I have heard that you cannot take continuously to intentionally skip a period.

Can you start a new pack of birth control when youre in the middle of the sugar pills to stop your period?

If you have a pack of 28 green birth control pills, you're probably on Micronor.
When coming off the pill should you stop at the end of the pack before the sugar pills or after you have taken them?
I am not a doctor, so you should verify with one before making a decision, but to my knowledge you should take all of the pills in the pack. I also learned recently that the last pills in the pack are not just sugar pills anymore. Many of these pills contain important vitamins and nutrients that your body needs during your menstrual cycle.
Can you start birth control pills in the middle of the pack had a baby cannot get into the doctors have the birth control from before i got pregnant it is 4 pills into week 2 can i take these?
In general the answer is yes... it would be ideal if the pack of pills is one of the "mono-phasic" types meaning all of the active pills are the same dosage. all of the active pills will have the same shape and color in a monophasic pack. Just try to get a new prescription in time to take a full 21 days of pills without missing any for the best results. also make sure the pills have not expired or may not be as effective.
When your first pack of pills are gone could you start another pack right away to stop your periods?
Yes you can but it really depens on what BC pills you're taking. If you get a period with these BC pills then start a new pack. Contact your doctor or Pharmacist for medical advice relating to these pills.
Can you start a new pack of birth control pills a day early?
Starting a pack of birth control pills a day early does not increase the risk of pregnancy; in fact, it may decrease the risk. Continue taking your pills as normal. Your period will just arrive a day early that's all.
If you get your period in the middle of a pack of birth control pills do you need to start a new pack?
No. Continue taking your pills as scheduled, regardless of any bleeding.
If you start your period 4 pills from the end of the pack should I continue to take remaining pills of the pack?
You should take your birth control pill as directed regardless of any bleeding. Just keep taking the pills on schedule.
You ended your pack of pills and was waiting to start your new pack during that time you had intercourse a few times is the birth control still in your system while waiting for the new pack?
no it is not. if you read the paper that comes with your pills you will see that.
What will happen if you are unable to start a new pack of birth control pills until a week after the end of your period?
During the last week of your pills you are taking placebo pills. There are no hormones in placebo pills that have hormones to protect you from pregnancy. However, if you have been properly taking your birth control every day at the same time, during this week you will start your menstrual cycle, and you will still be protected from pregnancy. All you have to do is finish all the pills in the pack, each month. Also, you do not have to take the placebo pills because there aren't any hormones in them. You must however, not get off track starting your birth control, you must start your new pack of pills the same way you began taking the birth control.
When you took all the sugar pills but hadn't started period so didn't start the new pack and haven't had period but both urine and blood pregnancy test were negative so when should you start new pack?
You can start taking your pills now if you wish.
