What else can I help you with?
What are the signs if wife is taking birth control pills?
Packet of birth control pills on the kitchen counter, receipts from the pharmacy for birth control pills, or your wife asking, "Have you seen my birth control pills?"
If I have my period before starting the sugar pills of my Birth Control Pack is it possible for me to get pregnant during this time?
As long as you did not skip any of the "active" pills in the packet, you are protected from pregnancy every day - including the week of your period and while taking the "inactive" sugar pills. Start your new packet on schedule.
Should you start a new pack of birth control after skipping a couple pills and starting your period early?
If you missed three or more pills you may want to start a new packet.
Can you delay cycle by taking birth control pills?
Yes, skip the 7 inactive pills and go straight to the next packet of pills, the day after taking the last active pill, in packet 1.
Is your birth control still in effect after your period if you're on the pill?
As long as you have not skipped any pills and start the new packet on time, yes the pill is effective every day during and after your period.
If I am going on my honeymoon in July and will possibly be on that week Can I start taking birth control pills 2 Sundays after my period to change the date of my next period for next month?
What you should do (with the OK from your doctor) is to take your BCP the way you have been - but skip the inactive pills and go straight to the new packet. You will skip your period and have it when you finish the second packet.
Do you need to use protection if you start birth control the first day of your period?
Yes. You should use a back up form of contraception for at least an entire packet of pills (or one month) when you first start birth control pills OR if you switch brands. This allows the hormones in the pills to effectively get in your system and begin the prevention of pregnancy.
What happens if you delay your period for a week while on birth control and then do not get your period straight away when you start taking the sugar pills?
Continue taking your birth control pills as scheduled.
What are some birth control pills that make your period lighter?
In general, all birth control pills, as well as the patch and ring and the Mirena IUD, make your period lighter.
If you start your period in the middle like two weeks into the pack of birth control pills when you get off can you start where you ended on the same pack?
Break through bleeding is quite common in the first few months, you should continue taking the pills in the packet - after they are gone begin a new packet.
Will birth control pills change the amount of days you have your period?
Yes, normally birth control pills will reduce the number of days of bleeding.
Do you have to keep the birth control in the packet it comes in?
The packet it comes in mainly helps with organization and tracking. If you can keep track of your pills without the packet you can remove them. That's what my sister used to do.
