Need a birth control pill that can delay periods.. i am due in a week.. also can i use the birth control pill only for 1 month. i m a first time user?

Any pill will work: However, if you are not already on a birth control pill there is nothing you can do to delay your upcoming period. If you are on the pill, then just skip the inactive pills and go directly to your next pack. The pill can work for a month only, just start it with the first day of your period. The main problem will be that the chance of spotting and break through bleeding will be high.
