How can i stop my period if im on birth control pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skip placebo pills: Every oral contraceptive has a few pills at the end of the pack that are mostly placebo. Some pill types have 4 days of placebo, some have 7. Either way, it is ok to occasionally skip these placebo pills and instead start a new pack of pills. This will effectively skip your period! best of luck.
