A member asked:
Am i right that it's no issue to start next pack of birth control pills 2 days early?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, definitely. Patients (and myself) do this all the time. Sometimes you can shorten a period if you're annoyed with the bleeding by starting a new pack early.
