Yes, you may use birth control pills to
skip a menstrual period. In order to do
this, you can start taking the pills right
now. Take one pill each day. When you
reach the 22nd day ,you have to throw away
the last 7 pills from the present pack
(because they are inactive) and start a
new pack immediately. Then, take all the
pills from the new pack in the same manner
(one pill each day)... including the last
7 inactive pills. While taking the last 7
pills you should get your delayed period.
Unwanted and unexpected spotting are
possible when using this method. Skipping
the period is not recommended as a
frequent solution while on birth control.
