A member asked:

I start yaz when my period started. if i only take bc for one week, will it delay my next cycle? will i get my 'real' period once i stop?

Erratic: You don't want be erratic with taking your bcp. Taking for only a week then stopping will likely cause a break through bleed. After some irregular bleeding, you should eventually resume your natural cycles.
