Does Taking the Placebo Pills Make Your Period Come Sooner??

I just started the pill and didn't want to take the placebo pills.

Do your periods come sooner if you take the placebo or not??

Thanks..

Hey fins,

i have never taken the placebo pills. Those pills are there just to keep you in the habit of taking a pill everyday. They're basically just "sugar pills" and have no hormones or anything in them.

Skipping the placebo pills won't make your period come any sooner. You will always start your period during the week when you're supposed to be taking the placebo pills-- whether you take them or not.
