1st time using bc and i want to skip period:what will better prevent spotting: taking 1st pill on 1st day of period or waiting a few days after period
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Day 1: Starting day 1 will give less chance of spotting. If you are trying to skip period, take your pack until pills change color, skips ones are the end and go directly to next pack.
