A member asked:

What to do because i'm going on a trip and if i start taking the water pills, will i get my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably..: With most birth control pills, the 4th week of pills are placebos. If you want to delay your period because of a trip, you can skip the 4th week of pills and go straight to the first pill of a new pack. Best wishes!
