How Can I "delay" My Period - Just One Time...? Posted: 08-13-07 03:09am


I'm going on vacation in a week I'd like to "delay" my period. I got off birth control pills 6 months ago, and still have a few packs left. I don't have time to start a month before and skip it that way. I heard, that if I start the pill the day my period is DUE, that I can delay it and then stop taking the pill when I want to start. Can I do this? I'd only be taking them for 5-7 days to delay it. Will it work? Thank you

Well, it might work. It might not. You really just have to try and see what happens. Usually it takes a few months of skipping to be 100% successful. Oh- you should probably make sure your pills aren't expired--

Thanks so much. And no, they're not expired. I've got my fingers crossed

Oh and I'm sure you know this but you won't be protected from pregnancy during that time. Just in case.
