ok so you have your white pills then the blue then the green sugar pills so I am going on vacation next week and I either wanna start it now or not get my period well today was ny last blue pill and now I am on my sugar pills starting tomorrow well my period ended on the 25th last month and I will be gone 21-25 so I dont want it well my friend said if I skip the green sugar pills and just start the new pack tomorrow in replace it will skip my period this month and be ok. Is that true or will it mess it up and make the birth control not effective? I have heard of that before where it skips it and you are ok but I am not sure?

Yes you can skip the sugar pills. Lots of woman do this. In fact many woman who have very heavy periods or painful ones often skip the sugar pills and never have a period.

Your friend is right, you can skip the placebo pills and just start your new pack and miss your period this month. Lots of people do that on vacation, and some Dr.'s recommend skipping periods for people who have heavy ones or lots of cramping. It won't make you more likely to get pregnant. In fact you can do it every month if you want and it won't harm you, they even make a birth control pill that is packaged in a way that you only get 4 periods a year. Take some liners with you just in case you get some spotting, but you shouldn't.

You dont have to take the sugar pills, but starting a new pack and skipping your period doesnt sound good. Your period cleans out the body just pack a lot of tampons
