A member asked:

I was supposed to be on sugar pills but wanted to skip period. missed one day and a half. took two pills will it be ok? will i still get my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to know: Some women can be a day or two late on the birth control pills and not bleed at all, others will have break through bleeding - usually in the form of spotting. Most women who skip the placebo pills and go right to more active pills don't get a period. There is a good chance you won't bleed at all or won't bleed much.
