Can i get my period by skipping active birth control pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: When you skip your pills you will get irregular bleeding. You will lose contraceptive protection depending on the number of pills you miss. If you miss more than 1 pill in a pack, it is best to use a back up method.
