What else can I help you with?
Birth Control So I just started birth control today Wednesday but my period started yesterday Tuesday and I have the 28 pack I was wondering if I am taking them right?
You should call your doctor to get clarification of how to take your birth control pills. Birth control pills are supposed to be started on the Sunday after your period begins.
When should you start taking birth control pills in your period cycle?
Right on the first day. It will take a month before the pills will be effective.
Which is safer to regulate your period the birth control pill or progesterone?
Both are safe and effective to use to regulate your period. There are many types of birth control pills and some only contain progesterone (POP's) and some are combinations of progesterone and estrogen. Progesterone only pills are still birth control pills. Birth control pills, containing progesterone only or a combination of progesterone and estrogen will regulate your period and protect your from pregnancy! However, you must take your pills everyday and at the same time, otherwise your period will not regulate and you will put your risk of becoming pregnant. For further information on which type of pill is right for you, you must visit a physician (example; Planed Parenthood), and they will choose which method is right for you.
If I skip the sugar pills and go right into a new pack of birth control pills will this affect my pap smear results?
No, skipping your period with sugar pills has no effect on Pap smear results.
What happens when taking birth control backwards on one of the weeks in between?
If your pills are all the same dose of hormones for each day, then nothing. If you have a type of pill where different weeks have different doses of hormones, then you will need to use another form of birth control (while continuing to take your birth control pills in the right order) for this month, as there is a chance that you may ovulate that month. You do not want to take your placebo pills (the pills you take for 1 week when you are supposed to have your period) during the middle of your birth control pill cycle, as those pills offer no birth control protection. If that was the case, then you may get a surprise period in the middle of your cycle, and you will need to use another form of birth control in order to prevent pregnancy.
Will it hurt to just not take the last week of my birth control pills?
If your birth control pills give you a "sugar pill" for the last week of your cycle, it is OK to skip them, assuming you start back up after the right amount of days, usually after your period has come. However, not all birth control pills have sugar pills for those days. Some just have a lower dose pill, and skipping them could reduce the effectiveness.
If you have a 5-7 day period will birth control be right for you?

Could you start your period early if you don't take birth control on right days?

it is not advised. you should finish all the pills at the alotted time and then you can start your new pack, if you are still on your period and the sugar pills are completed you can still move onto the next pack.
When on birth control when you finish the blue pills and start the white are those the ones that cause your period?
The blue ones are faux pills and not taking the white ones is what starts your period. They are hormones and they tell your body not to have a period. The blue ones just keep you on track so you can have the right number of days before you start your new cycle of pills.
