The sugar pills are there to keep you in the habit of taking the pills daily. Do not break the habit. Continue your daily dose at same time every day or you will maybe become pregnant. You do not have to wait 7 days if you have taken all of your hormone pills properly prior to taking your sugar pills. If you have missed a pill, play it safe and use condoms for the first 7 days of the new packet.

What is sugar pill days?
The last pills in your birth control pack do NOT have actual medication in them. They're only there to keep you in the habit of taking a pill every day. You will get your regular period on the days you are taking the inactive/sugar pills. Brands vary, but most 28-day packs have 7 sugar pills in the last row. They should be clearly marked as such, and are always a different color than the active pills.
Is it bad to wait a few days to restart birth control after being off it with sugar pills for your period Or do you have to wait to another week upon restarting another pack?
You start the new packet of pills the day after you take the last sugar pill, no waiting or delays - the bad thing about skipping a week is the very real possibility of pregnancy since a week of sugar pills followed by skipping another week of active pills means you may very likely ovulate before starting the new packet of pills. You need to use back up (like condoms) until you have taken 7 active pills over 7 days to prevent pregnancy, if you start a new packet even 1 or 2 days late.
Is it ok to stop taking the sugar pills after 4 days because your periods have finished and start the next month's pills?
No. Take them the way you are suppose to, do not skip any pills. This is important for a regular cycle.
Is it normal for you to have a period before the sugar pills?
Yes. The sugar pills do nothing but keep track of your days.
How do you prolong my period for a few days on the pill?
Keep taking the normal pill and you won't get your period.. Skip the sugar pills completely.
Why do you have a period during the 28 days you are taking the pill?
The pill causes a release of 2 hormones into your body, tricking your body into not releasing an egg each month. It sort of tricks your body into thinking it is pregnant and therefore the lining of the uterus remains, and no egg is released. In the pack of 28 pills there are 7 sugar pills. When you start taking the sugar pill, the hormones stop and your body returns back to normal and then sheds the lining. Then after 7 days you start taking the pills with hormones again. You can skip the sugar pills, but it is not recommended you do this for a long period of time.
If you start your period on the first sugar pill and your period lasts 4 days do you finish the rest of the sugar pills or start taking the hormone pills again?
You should always finish your pack You should always finish your pack
Is taking hormone pills the same as having your period normally?
No. The pill prevents ovulation, so the bleeding you experience every 28 days is withdrawal from the hormones when you start taking the inactive or "sugar" pills. True menstruation is the shedding of the uterus 10-14 days after ovulation.
How many days after do you get your period when taking white inactive pills do you have to finish the white inacative pills to get your period?
hi. My sugar pills start on a Wednesday and I usually get my period that Friday. Then it continues until Tuesday the next week.
If you skip your sugar pills and go on to the next pack how many days are you going to spot?
The number of days of spotting after skipping sugar pills is completely unpredictable.
