Ok so when I started the pill 5 months ago
my dr told me to choose the sunday start
date option because it was less likely i'd
get my period on the weekend. Well after
5 months, i've realized it takes about 3-4
days from my last pill to get my period
(for example, if I take my last pill on
saturday it isn't until tuesday possibly
wednesday when I start my period.) this
means I have my period on the weekend
which is a pain. Therefore, i'm wondering
if I could slowly change my start date to
say saturday and then next month even
friday so that the first day of my period
should be monday. That way I wouldn't
still have it come the following saturday.
Does anyone know if this is ok or am I
going to regret messing with my start
date? I'm just really annoyed at having
my period on the weekend when I want to go
to the beach and hiking and generally not
be worried with that stuff. Thanks.

I believe you can start a new pack early,
just not late. Sounds like you have a
plan there. I've done it before and I
had no problems, but everyone reacts
differently. Good luck!

I agree with ashes.. Earlier not later.
A day at a time is best so your body
doesn't get too confused. I have done 2
days before without any problems as well.

When you started your next pill early did
it shorten your current period's length??
Thanks!

No, it did not unfortunately.. But I
didn't expect it would.
