If you want to skip your period by not taking the inactive pills do you start the new pack even though the days will be off?

Yes, you can often find a sticker in the new pill pack that lets you "relabel" the days to suit your new schedule. Just don't go more than seven days without taking an active pill.

If you are on birth control and you know when you are getting your period how can you change it so you won't be on your period at a certain time?
if you're on the pill, skip the "inactive" pills and start again on a new pill pack instead. the inactive part is what gives you your period. it's safe and everything. Just continue to take your active pills without a break or taking sugar pills and you will stop your period. It won't hurt you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist.
Do you need to take the inactive tablets when taking the birth control pill?
Yes, you will need to take your inactive pills. There are no hormones in your inactive pills and missing them will not increase your risk of pregnancy. The purpose of inactive pills is to remind you to take the pill everyday and when to start the next packet.
How long will it take to have menstruation after only taking oral contraceptive pills for a week?
If you stopped taking them after a week you should start your period in three to five days. If you are 7 days into a new packet you probably won't start your "period" until the week you take the inactive pills.
Do expired birth control pills still work properly?
Yes and No. Each brand of birth control is different. Your period may or may not be longer than length of the inactive pills (the 4-7 pills at the end of the pack that are a different color). The only pills that "ok" to skip or miss are the ones that are inactive. Some pill brands such as Loesterin 24 are not just placebos (sugar pills) but they contain iron which is helpful when you are on your period because it helps replace the nutrients in the blood lost during your menstrual period. There is a reason the inactive pills are there. They are there to help you remember when to take the next active pill. It is okay if you miss an inactive pill while on your period but I would recommend taking them anyways just to ensure that you know exactly which day to start taking your active pills again or to gain nutrients that are lost during your period.
Is it wrong to take the inactive pills while you are on your period?
No, they are intended for you to keep track of the pills (active) that you have taken.

If you are on birth control pills you can have sex any time you like. And he does not have to pull out.the inactive pills are just there to keep you in the habit of taking the pill.
I just started taking the pill two days ago and I'm supposed to get my period the weekend after next will i get it on time?
Most likely the pill will force your period to move up to the days when you are taking the placebo (inactive pills) in your pill pack.
Is there a significant different between yasmin birth control pills and Yaz birth control pills?
The biggest difference is that Yaz contains 24 active pills and 4 inactive pills, which have no active ingredients and Yasmin has 21 active pills and 7 inactive pills. The smaller number of inactive pills reduces some of the symptoms that occur just before and during the period.
If I have my period before starting the sugar pills of my Birth Control Pack is it possible for me to get pregnant during this time?
As long as you did not skip any of the "active" pills in the packet, you are protected from pregnancy every day - including the week of your period and while taking the "inactive" sugar pills. Start your new packet on schedule.
