A member asked:
4. if i take placebo pills, does it stop my period or will still have my period? 5. what happen if i don't take the placebo pill & start a new pack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Delay in menses: While taking the placebo pills, a woman will experience a hormone withdrawal bleeding ("menstrual period"). If she skips the placebo pills and starts a new pack, she will delay her "menstrual period" for as long as she takes pills with hormones.
