Technically, absolutely nothing should happen. A placebo is substance that is meant to deceive the patient into believing they are getting actual medication. Placebo's are most commonly used in drug trials to see if the drug actually works or simply causing a "placebo effect". Which is a psychological response the brain permits when it believes it is being treated.

So ultimately the answer to your question is that no, taking large amounts of a placebo won't harm you. Though if you are experiencing placebo effects then it has the possibility of increasing your response to it.

What would happen if you took fourteen placebo pills in a row?

Nothing. Placebos are fake pills and have no effect upon you. You might just as well take fourteen M & Ms, though the placebos might prove more beneficial.


On a twenty one day pill pack with seven placebos i skipped the placebos last month to skip period. Now I want to have my period. When I take the placebos for the week do I have to use backup?

No. Skipping placebos lowers, not raises, your risk of pregnancy. There is no special need for backup during the placebo week if you took six straight weeks of active pills before that.


If you skip the sugar pills in your birth control pack when will you get your period the following month?

Ideally, your withdrawal bleeding will happen when you take the placebos next, but some women will have unscheduled bleeding or spotting after skipping a period by taking active pills continuously. It's a bit unpredictable.

What if you dont take the plcebo pills?

The cycle is three weeks of hormones, one week of no hormones, as you pretty much figured out by the fact that of the 28 pills in the pack, seven of them are placebos. When BC pills first came out, they used to only give you the 21 hormone pills. You were supposed to take the pills for 21 days, then not take pills for seven days before starting hormones again. The problem with that is people would start taking the pills again at nine days or eleven days or whatever, and a lot of women got pregnant. "How could this happen? These things are supposed to keep you from getting pregnant!" And they do, if you keep to the schedule. Now, they give you 21 days of hormones and seven placebos, and you get to take one pill every day. If you get into the habit of always taking a pill every day, you won't mess up the cycle. So as to your answer: if you can remember to start taking the hormone pills again after seven days, you don't need to take the placebos. Then again, they won't hurt you if you take them.

Probably Not unless a large amount was put in. The tank uses bacteria to digest the solid waste and it would take a large amount to sterilize the tank. Also with clorine bleach it is best not to use large amounts.
