How Can I Delay My Period? Posted: 08-19-07 12:16pm
I am currently not on birth control and
have planned a vegas weekend with my
boyfriend, but i'm afraid i might get my
period those days since i recently had a
cycle change. Is there anything I can do?
I have access to yasmin bc pills, but am
not sure if i can take them without
actually taking my period..help!

You can start birth control pills during
any part of your cycle. They have you
start near a period to reduce the risk of
spotting I believe, but there's nothing
that says you can't start them any time
you like. Start them so that you will be
on active pills the whole time you're in
Vegas, and it just might work lol.

Yeah, it would probably delay the period,
but because that isn't 'taking them
correctly', don't trust it alone for
protection. I don't believe it isn't
healthy though.
Have fun at Vegas!

Actually, she'll be safe after just one
week.

Yes, 99%. Actually the pill even with
"perfect" use is anywhere from 97-99%.
Typical use (aka "oops, it's 9 hours late,
oops I missed one" etc) is still 92-96%.
If she takes the pills every day at the
exact same time, then after one week, she
will be 92-99% protected, just like
everyone else who takes the pill.
