If you have taken four sugar pills can you skip taking the next three and just start a new pack so your period isn't a week long?

Yes, absolutely. Some pills on the market (e.g. LoEstrin 24) are designed this way.

You recently started on birth control about 2 months ago you went on vacation and skipped your sugar pills to start another pack so you wont get your period when might you get your period?
As soon as you start your sugar pills on the new pack, or a little after you start taking the sugar pills.

Continue taking your birth control pills as scheduled.

You should always finish your pack You should always finish your pack

Your period usually comes during the placebo pills week(sugar pills).

Keep taking your pills all in order-do not skip any active pills...did you miss any pills -sometimes that can cause you to start your period early...also-maybe put a call in to your doc- if you didn't miss any pills,you shouldn't start your period while still taking active pills
Is it normal to start your period on the last two days of the sugar pills and go into the hormone pills?
Hi :-) Yes, this is normal. There is no time limit for when you start your period during the sugar pills. As long as you start your period during the seven day worth of sugar pills then this is normal.
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.
Does your period generally come during the week taking the green pills?
Yes, if these green pills represent the placebo/sugar pills, then your period will start during the time you are taking the green pills. If you do not get a period during this week, you should consult with your physician. You may need to take a pregnancy test.
While on birth control pills do you usually start your period by the time you take the sugar pills?
You start your period when on the sugar pills. Your period should start within three days of your first sugar pill - the exact time will differ from woman to woman.
Can you stop taking your sugar pills before they run out?
Yes, as long as you start taking the hormone pills when you are supposed to. The sugar pills are just to keep you in the habit and make sure you start the hormone pills on the correct day. If you are stopping taking pills altogether you need not take any sugar pills at all.
Could taking birth control pills and substituting sugar pills with real ones all month round be harmful?
It would be pointless. The sugar pills do not contain anything in them to keep you from getting pregnant. The placebos (or sugar pills) are there as "reminders" to keep you in the habit of taking them and so when you know to start a new pack. The sugar pills are not needed during your period,that's why they are sugar pills. If you take the placebos when you are supposed to be taking the "active" ones, they are inaffective and you might as well not be taking them at all.
What does it mean if you usually start your period on the day you start your sugar pills but your last period didn't start until 4 days into sugar pills?
This sometimes happens with birth control.
