A member asked:
If you start a birth control pack late, will it make your period late that month?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shifts the period: If you start your new pack of pills several days late, they may not prevent ovulation. You could become pregnant. If the pills do prevent you from ovulation in that cycle, then your period will come while on the placebo pills at the end of the pack - just as it should.
