I was wondering if it is a bad thing to
stop taking your pills early, like im
going away next weekend and dont want my
period so if I stop today (5 pills left)
and have my cycle and then start my new
back next friday is that safe to do!?!?!
Help!
Thanks for listening!!

Hmm im not sure that that's a good idea..
When I stopped my pills early it took and
extra 5 days to start my period. And
depeding on the pill you take, they have
like diff amounts of hormones in them (ie.
Tri-cyclen)

Stopping early wouldnt be the best idea,
but you can skip your period without
stopping early. Instead of doing the
whole off-week pills, skip over those and
just start a new pack. This usually works
best if you're on a monophasic pill (one
that has the same level of hormones in all
the pills).
