A member asked:
Can i take a monophasic pill a week before my period to delay it? i have regular menses & have never been on the pill.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kinda sorta: You can manipulate your menses with any type of hormonal birth control pill, whether monophasic, biphasic or triphasic. First, if you take the pills as directed, then you'll get your menses towards the end of your pill pack. But let's say you wanted to skip your menses one month. Don't take the sugar pills at the end of the pack but start the next month's instead immediately. Voila, no menses!
