Hi, Your question is: Are you supposed to take your birth control during your period? When on Birth Control, depending upon which brand you are on you will either need to take sugar pills for 7 days or stop taking your pills for 7 days. Your prescriber should of explained this to you. Contact them to be certain.

∙ 12y agoThe pill consists of 21 days of active pills (ie, containing oestrogen and progestogen) with either a break of seven days, or seven days of a sugar pill. The sugar pill is used to keep the user in a regular habit of taking the pill at the same time each day, every day, whilst bleeding occurs. If you have been taking the pill daily (every day without missing one) you should be safe during your period. As you are not really taking active ingredients for seven days, a pill missed just before or just after the sugar pills does increase the chances of ovulation taking place during the next cycle and pregnancy occuring. Even if you are taking the pill religiously, be aware that no contraceptive is 100% effective.
