You are due on your period in 10 days if you start taking the pill now will it stop this coming period?

Answer 1

You can start the Birth Control pill at any time, adn doing so may delay your period, or you might have unscheduled bleeding or spotting. If you start the birth control pill before your next period starts, be sure to use a back up method of birth control, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, until you've taken seven pills in a row.

Answer 2

Consult your physician about when to start a form of birth control, such as the pill. You can theoretically stop your period by using a pill that only gives you for periods a year. Some might call it unnatural to do so, but some argue that one doesn't necessarily need a period except for the purpose of cleaning out the uterus & preparing for the conception of children.

The pill puts hormones into your body that help regulate a regular ovulation period (most are 28 days). The different colored week in your pill pack are basically sugar pills that have no hormones in them whatsoever. They're only a reminder of when you are to start your next ovulation period & when to take your pill. If you skip over the sugar pills & continue on the hormonal birth control, then theoretically speaking, you can stop your period. This doesn't mean you can & or won't bleed occasionally, whether it's a light flow for a day, a few days, or another week. You're more likely to "spot" bleed, though.

Consult your physician about the best time to start the pill, as well as what type to be on. There are hormonal patches, pills, diaphragms, & female condoms, as well as sponges. He/she will more than likely recommend the day after the end of your next menstrual cycle to start a hormonal pack, so as not to interrupt the flow of your natural ovulation period (usually 28 days).
