A member asked:
Can starting my placebo pill a day early make my cycle come early or will it be a day late?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much effect: Starting your 'placebo row' one day early probably won't change your bleeding pattern that much. If anything, your period may come a little bit early because it is the withdrawal of hormones that initiates your cycle to begin.
