The only risk of skipping your period using the Birth Control pill is unscheduled bleeding. Skipping does not have any medical risks, and it does not increase the risk of pregnancy.

How can you intentionally delay your menses?
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.
Is skipping your period on the pill bad?
Skipping your period on the birth control pill, whether it happens with normal use or because you skipped the placebo week on purpose, isn't bad. It doesn't increase the risk of pregnancy, and causes no damage.
What are the chances of getting pregnant by skipping your sugar pills and ot having a period?
Skipping sugar pills to avoid a period reduces, and does not raise, your risk of getting pregnant on the pill.
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.
The last 2 month ive only had a period for 1 day is this normal. im on the pill?
Yes skipping periods is perfectly normal. Some women don't have there period at all while on the pill.
Can you skip your period while taking the birth control pill and is it safe?
If you didn't get your period while on the sugar pills, it's not necessarily a sign of pregnancy. Many women have very light or no periods when they first start taking the pill, it's a side effect. If you are asking if it's safe to intentionally skip a period by skipping the sugar pills and moving on to the next active pill pack, the answer is yes. You can skip your period without any increased risk of pregnancy; however, you may have unscheduled spotting or bleeding.
What colored pill do you go to after starting halfway through your red pills to skip your period?
If you're skipping some placebo pills, start the next pack at the very first pill.
If you miss a period on purpose by taking birth control and have a later period can you get preganant if you have unprotected sex?
As long as you didn't go more than seven days without an active pill, you are not at increased risk of pregnancy. Skipping your period by taking the pill continuously decreases, not increases, the risk of pregnancy.
If you are going on vacation is there a pill you can take that will stop your period?
Yes, there are various pills that are available. You should speak to your pharmacist, or preferably, your doctor, and they will recomend something for you to delay it. However, if you are on the Pill,by skipping the placebo pills and going straight to the next pack, you will avoid your period for that cycle.
If you have never taken the pill can you start a new pack to prevent getting your period?
All I know is that if you continuously take the pill, you will not have your period. This means the week that you should start your period, you would start a new pack. I skipped one month, but by the time I got through my second pack of pills, stopped taking the pill so I would have my period. I just felt so bloated and yucky. If skipping your periods is why you want to go on the pill, I suggest something like Seasonique. You only have your period every 3 months.
Are you supposed to continue taking birth control while on your period or you resume on another day?
Yes, take one pill every day as scheduled - skipping pills reduces the effectiveness.
If you are on a 6 week cycle instead of a 3 week is there more of a chance of becoming pregnant if this is the first time you have used the pill to skip a period?
Skipping a period by taking two cycles back to back does not increase the risk of pregnancy. If anything, it decreases the risk.
