A member asked:
My period is due any day now. i stopped taking my birth control for about 6-9 months now. if i take it today will it delay my period?

Probably not: Usually you would start the birth control pill on the sunday following the start of your period. That will give you the best chance to not have bleeding on the first 21 days. If you do another start, like right before your period starts, then you will likely bleed anyway.
