A member asked:

I take yaz and started it so that i would never get my period on the weekend. if i skip my period will it effect the days it falls on next time?

10 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

It shouldn't: It shouldn't change the date unless you did not take all of your previous pack of pills. Sometimes the period is minimal on the pills when taken properly.

Dr Hegab and 7 doctors agreed

No: It is dependent on when you stop the pills and are active pill free.
