Birth Control Pill Question? Posted: 03-25-07 21:31pm
Is it ok to substitute a birth control
pill for one of the sugar pills in order
to change the start date of your period?
For example, if you normally start a new
pack on a Monday, is it ok to take your
first real pill on a Sunday (instead of
your last sugar pill) so that your period
will start earlier in the week? Will this
increase your chance of pregnancy? I know
it's bad to start a day late, but I hadn't
heard anything about starting a day early.
Thanks.

You're not starting a day late if I
understand you correctly; you are starting
earlier, and that's perfectly find. As
long as you don't skip days or have blank
days, then you'll be fine.
