What else can I help you with?
Is it OK not be on the sugar tablets for only five days before starting the new pack and not the recommended seven days?
From what I have learned from my physician recently, is that you can only make two choices during your placebo/sugar pill week,You take your sugar pills for the seven days, and menstruation will occur, do not take your sugar pills for the seven days, but you will wait seven days to start your new pack of pills.You start your new pack of pills on the day that you were to start your placebo pills.So to my understanding, you should not start your active pills now, because you will mess up your cycle, and if the pills are not taken properly, everyday and and the same time, you may put your risk for pregnancy.I hope you make the right decision based on the facts that I have told you.
Is it normal for you to have a period before the sugar pills?
Yes. The sugar pills do nothing but keep track of your days.
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.
Is it normal to start your period on the last two days of the sugar pills and go into the hormone pills?
Hi :-) Yes, this is normal. There is no time limit for when you start your period during the sugar pills. As long as you start your period during the seven day worth of sugar pills then this is normal.
What are the chances of getting pregnant if you skip the sugar pills?
Not eating the sugar pills does not increase the risk of pregnancy. Throwing away the sugar pills and starting the next pack early also does not increase the risk of pregnancy -- it may even decrease the risk.
Can you stop taking your sugar pills before they run out?
Yes, as long as you start taking the hormone pills when you are supposed to. The sugar pills are just to keep you in the habit and make sure you start the hormone pills on the correct day. If you are stopping taking pills altogether you need not take any sugar pills at all.
In what order do you take birth control pills and which color do you take first?
Hello - You start taking birth control pills on the last day of your period. You will have seven pills which are a different colour from the other pills. The seven different coloured pills are the "non- active or sugar pills" which you start taking after you have finished taking the active pills. The active pills are the 28+ different coloured pills from the non active ones.
Is it bad to wait a few days to restart birth control after being off it with sugar pills for your period Or do you have to wait to another week upon restarting another pack?
You start the new packet of pills the day after you take the last sugar pill, no waiting or delays - the bad thing about skipping a week is the very real possibility of pregnancy since a week of sugar pills followed by skipping another week of active pills means you may very likely ovulate before starting the new packet of pills. You need to use back up (like condoms) until you have taken 7 active pills over 7 days to prevent pregnancy, if you start a new packet even 1 or 2 days late.
When should you expect your next period if you started your pills on the first day of your period and you've used 3 weeks of pills and are currently on the last day of your sugar pills?
You should expect your period to arrive on or before the last day of the sugar pills. But sometimes you can arrive the next week after your sugar pills. It takes a while for BCP to get used to your body. This could be why you havent gotten your period.

Can you skip the sugar pills with the mini pill?
Ack! There are no sugar pills in the mini pill! There are only active pills, 28 of them in each pack, and you must take one daily in order to avoid pregnancy. If you start skipping seven of them every month, you're going to get pregnant!
When coming off the pill should you stop at the end of the pack before the sugar pills or after you have taken them?
I am not a doctor, so you should verify with one before making a decision, but to my knowledge you should take all of the pills in the pack. I also learned recently that the last pills in the pack are not just sugar pills anymore. Many of these pills contain important vitamins and nutrients that your body needs during your menstrual cycle.
