A member asked:
Is it possible to stop your period early while taking the pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If a woman is taking birth control pills and wants to stop her period early one way is to start the next pack of pills a few days early. That will often work. Another way is to get the period to start a few days early so it will end a few days early. This is done by not taking the last several active birth control pills and instead starting the placesaver pills.
