A member asked:
Is it possible to take birth control to stop your period once it has already started? i want to skip the menstruating for one day
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: You can start a new pack early and if needed you can double up on the pill for a day or so to stop the bleeding. I sometimes get this request when women going on their honeymoon expect to be on their period at that time.
