A member asked:

I want to skip my birth control pill stop week, and my question is when do i start my next stop week after skipping my current one?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Skipping a period: Let's assume all 21 (3 weeks) active pills are the same Combination Birth Control Pills, and she has been using BC pills for a while. The inactive row doesn't need to be taken and some packets don't have inactive pills, but the woman still would take 1 week off after 21 active pills. Alternatively, she can choose to take 4, 5, or 6 weeks of active pills... then 1 week off... then start a new pack.
