A member asked:

What to do if i'm in the second week of my birth control (tri previfem). if i stop taking the birth control now, will my period come this week?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Bryan Kurtz answered

Maybe: It might, but to avoid irregular bleeding, I would suggest you stop at the end of the pack.
