A member asked:
Can i start a new pack of birth control pills two days before my period to delay it for a vacation if i haven't been on birth control can before?

Yes: As long as your pregnancy test is negative you can start a birth control pack at anytime in your cycle. Since your cycle is supposed to start in two days it may or may not prevent you from having a period. That is not alot of time but it might work to delay the cycle.
