A member asked:
Hi docs, would taking one birth control pill start my period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No. Need to do an entire cycle (usually) to start a period. Sometimes, depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle, doing a course of just progesteron for 5-10 days then stopping it can cause you to menstruate (have a period)
