You can, but it's not necessary.
Placebo pills do nothing to your body. Nothing at all.
You should still get a period each month while on birth control. You will usually start your period during the week that you take your placebo pills, because they have no hormones in them. If you skip the placebo pills and start your active pills instead, this will delay your period.
you will get your period when you start taking your "period" placebo pills in your pack
Yes, but if you'd like to do so, it makes sense to plan early, as you may experience breakthrough bleeding when you first start to use them, or when you first start to skip placebo pills.
That would mean stopping your pills a week early, no that is not a good idea, you could ovulate and get pregnant. You would be better off skipping the placebo pills and going straight to the new pack, the day you should start the placebo - so you don't have breakthrough bleeding that month. (skip your period completely that cycle.)
Your period usually comes during the placebo pills week(sugar pills).
You're supposed to start your period after you start taking the placebo pills. To keep on a routine, you should take the placebo pills on their designated days (the last 7 days of the 28 day cycle).
You could start the hormones pills part way through the placebo pills to change the next month's cycle (say you would have your period on a Wednesday next month, instead of a Friday) but it would not affect the cycle you are currently on. When your uterine lining starts to shed, it sheds. For example, Yaz only has 4 placebo pills instead of 7, like some birth control brands. For many women on Yaz, they won't start their period until the last day of placebo pills. They will start their period on the last placebo and continue to have it through the first few days of the hormone pills.
If you want to change your pill date, you should start the next pack early, but should not skip active pills. Instead, you should skip placebo pills.
Probably not, but you may have unscheduled bleeding or spotting.
Hi, Your question is: Should my period start the first day after I am through the hormone pills in a birth control pack?Not necessarily no. Your period will arrive anytime during the 7 days when your on the placebo pills or not taking any pills.
I'm wondering the same thing. My doctor suggested skipping the placebo week and starting into a new pack but that there might be spotting and it could throw off your cycle for the next three months. This would still be a better option than taking the sugar pills early because your period wouldn't start right away anyway and it might still carry on into the next week.
