Pregnancy, stress, dieting/extreme weight loss, exercising, illness - all can cause missed periods.
you can not artificially induce skipped periods... however the new Birth Control shots will decrease your period to four a year.
Keep taking the normal pill and you won't get your period.. Skip the sugar pills completely.
yes!! don't SKIP!! if you stop taking it your period should regulate soon. yes!! don't SKIP!! if you stop taking it your period should regulate soon.
If you are on the pill, don't take the pills for your period week, skip directly to the pills for the following week. If you aren't on the pill, there is no way to skip a period.
Some people report that while they are on the pill, they don't have their period as much. Though I don't suggest taking birth control for that reason. You can't really make it skip your cycle. Some people have there period not change at all while on the pill. So there is no guarantee that is will delay or skip your period.
If you do this then you put yourself at risk of pregnancy
If you didn't get your period while on the sugar pills, it's not necessarily a sign of pregnancy. Many women have very light or no periods when they first start taking the pill, it's a side effect. If you are asking if it's safe to intentionally skip a period by skipping the sugar pills and moving on to the next active pill pack, the answer is yes. You can skip your period without any increased risk of pregnancy; however, you may have unscheduled spotting or bleeding.
You won't have a period as long as you're taking the pill, but as soon as you come off it you'll have a period. You shouldn't take the pill for more than 21 consecutive days before giving yourself a 7 day break from it due to build-up of hormones.
No, you can't. Every pill is exactly the same on the minipill, and there are no placebo pills to skip.
Technically, those seven hormone free pills are the days you are supposed to be on your period. You skip those, you skip the period. If you finish your period early, yes, you are still safe to have even though you aren't taking an active pill. FYI, all these questions should be in the information packet that was included with the pills.

No, if you are on the progesterone only pill, (mini-pill) it has a different action to the majority of pills (combined pill) If you want to skip a period for whatever reason, ask the nurse, doctor or pharmacist how to do it.
No, continue taking the pill as scheduled.
