Im at the end of my first week on birth control pills. my boyfriend will be in town during my period week, is it safe to skip my period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would think so.: Finish off the first three weeks of real pills and instead of taking the first placebo pill, go right into next month’s pack and start with the Day 1 pill. Bam, you just skipped your period.
