Hi, just so you know, if you take three Birth Control pills...it will delay your period...but...only for like a day, and then it will come back. you would have to keep taking them continuously to keep the period away, but it does make you feel kinda queezy and crampy doing this. i strongly don't recommend that anyone do it. if you stop/or forget to take the pills your period will come back. I'm dealing with this right now, and i just decided that when it came back after i took the pills i would just let it ride, because it was too painful to try to keep it up with the stomach cramps. when i would have been done by now...I'm not. I've been on it for 8 days. now when i pee, i have huge blood clots, and my pads are filling up extra quick. so i really don't suggest that anyone do it. consult with your physician or OBGYN.

Yes, changing birth control will cause a delay in your bleeding.

Hormonal birth control suppresses your menstrual cycles so that you don't ovulate and so in turn you don't menstruate, instead bleeding you experience is a withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in synthetic hormones when going from active pills to placebo week. When you switch to another brand or type of birth control then your body needs time to adjust, thus your withdrawal bleeds may be irregular and you may experience spotting midway through the pack too. This should settle down within three months, but if it doesn't go back to you doctor as you may need another brand.

No. Birth control only protects you from pregnancy if they are taken everyday at the same time, and they will regulate your period by making it come on the same day each month. The only way to delay your period while on birth control pills is by starting a new pack of pills on the day that you would start your placebo pills.

Yes. Doctors actually say to not freak out and think your pregnant once you switch pills if you don't get your period right away. Your body just needs time to get used to the new pill and after a couple of weeks your cycle should be used to the pill. And back to normal:)
