A member asked:
Would it be okay for me to only use 19 days of birth control, then skip the last 2 days and go straight to the placebo, just for one cycle of pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better way: If on mono cyclic pills, a better way to change your menses date is to skip the placebo pills and go straight to your next pack. This does not work well with tri-cyclic pills.
