Is it really important to take the last 7
pills? The sugar pills. I just started
taking birth control last month and I took
all the pills everyday on time. Now this
week I'm on the last 7 pills. I missed 2
pills(Sunday and Monday) and took one last
night. I'm not worried cause I know
missing those pills won't mess up
anything. I'm just not a big fan of taking
pills lol. Is it okay to just skip them? I
know I will take the other 21 pills, I
know those are important. I would just
like a break for a week lol. I started
getting my period today too, only a little
though. I like my periods now lol.
Thanks.

Don't worry not taking the last 7 pills
will not make a difference, because they
are placebos. I do the same thing with my
birth control. There is some difference
depending on the actual pill you are
taking, but as long as you take all of the
"active" ones and remember when you need
to start a new set of pills you should be
fine.

There are some 21day pills, if you don't
want to take the inactive pills mybe you
could ask you doctor about changing to a
pill that only has the 21 active pills

Yeah I agree with the other posts.
Technically the last 7 pills (sugar pills)
are just there so that you continue to
take a pill every day to keep you in the
habit of well, taking a pill every day
