A member asked:
I am on birth control and i want to skip my period because i have a vacation. is that bad for me? are there any side effects of skipping my period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is no issue or complications to continuing the active pills of your birth control pillsand skipping a period. In truth you can do this continuously and not have periods at all without problems. There is no therapeutic effect of having a bleeding episode (a period) while on the pill.
