Easy: You can adjust the timing of your period by continuing to take active pills instead of taking the placebo pills. Just open a new pack of pills and start taking them instead of taking the last seven pills from your current pack. When you are ready to have your period, stop the active pills and your period will start in a day or two.

Do you get your period on Jolivette on the last 7 pills? My primary doctor said yes, but still no period on last 2 pills in pack. I've seen some people say it will come whenever? This is my first month on a progestrin only pill so this is new to me.
