I'm on the pill, if i skip the sugar pill, does that mean i will skip my period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skipping BCP's: Skipping the last 7 pills of a 28 day package will not increase the chance of skipping your period. It would be equivalent to taking 21 day pills. In both cases you wait 7 days before starting the next pill cycle.
