yea it just means you wont get your period for that month
You can use them either way as long as you never go more than seven days without taking an active pill.
No. Take them the way you are suppose to, do not skip any pills. This is important for a regular cycle.
Placebo pills have no effect on your period at all. A placebo itself is nothing more then a sugar pill, it contains absolutely NO medication of any kind. In a birth control pack the placebo pills are used strictly to keep you in the routine of taking the pill everyday.AnswerNo. Placebo pills have no effect on your cycle at all - they are simply a reminder to you to keep taking a pill at the same time every day. The bleeding you have while on BCP is actually not a period. It is withdrawal bleeding in response to your hormone levels dropping while you are not taking active BCP.You can take the inactive pills or skip them completely, as long as you remember to start using your active pills again at the end of the week.The way women use BCP to skip a period that is coming at an inconvenient time is to toss out the inactive pills and start using the new packet of active pills without skipping a day. This with your doctors or health care provider's OK.
Yes this is normal. Take your birth control pills as your supposed to hun.
never skip skool
as long as you skip the inactive pills and do not miss any of the second pack you should be ok. i have done it before and had no problem, but remember you are delaying your period so it will be eager to start again so do remember to take them and dont forget any. also its advised that you only occaisionally skip your period but yeah for your holiday you should be ok.
What you should do (with the OK from your doctor) is to take your BCP the way you have been - but skip the inactive pills and go straight to the new packet. You will skip your period and have it when you finish the second packet.
Yes you are okay. Most birth control pills have 3 weeks of active pills and 1 week of inactive pills. Be patient and allow the inactive pills to take effect.
Yes, but sometimes the sugar pills have iron in them like a kind of supplement since many women experience lower iron levels during mensturation, so it can be beneficial to take them. It's ok to skip though.
If your birth control pills give you a "sugar pill" for the last week of your cycle, it is OK to skip them, assuming you start back up after the right amount of days, usually after your period has come. However, not all birth control pills have sugar pills for those days. Some just have a lower dose pill, and skipping them could reduce the effectiveness.
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.
No. You must not switch pills without doctor's order.
