A member asked:

Is it ok if i take my contraceptive pills before period? will i have irregular period as consequences?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

OCP: You can take your contraceptive pill any time during your cycle. As long as your stay on the hormonal pill and not on the sugar one, you should not have a period and therefore you should not be irregular. In fact, oral contraceptive pills are given to regulate periods.
