Best Answer

In some Birth Control brands, the green pills are active pills and should not be skipped. In other brands, the green pills are placebos (sugar pills or reminder pills) and can be skipped. Talk to your pharmacist or health care provider to get information specific to your brand of birth control pills.

Started pill before period and skipped then skipped sugar and skipped pdagain Now have period for a week and you are only 2 weeks into your pills when will it go away did you completely mess up your c?

Hi, When you skip a sugar pill this does not effect your cycle. Skipping a active pill will effect your cycle. Skipping one active pill not only causes your period to arrive earlier but also puts you at risk of pregnancy. Skipping more than one active pill and the risk increases. See your doctor for a bloo test to determine if you've conceived or not. Meanwhile use a condom every time you have intercourse.

One way is if you are on the birth control pill. Skipping the white pills (colors may vary) or blanks as we know it, will cause you not to have a period.


Does it matter if you take the 1st birth control pill from the next pack with the intention of skipping that 7 days break but then decided to have a break therefore taking the 2nd pill a week later?

Not really, one extra pill in a cycle or one pill short in a cycle should not make any difference, although I wouldn't suggest making a habit of doing so.
