If you want to use a 28-day oral contraceptive to delay your period, which oral contraceptive is best, and what's the recommended schedule?

The best type of pill and schedule to use for controlling your cycle has yet to be determined. Preferably, you'd use oral contraceptives that contain 20 to 35 micrograms of estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) and that are monophasic — containing the same amount of hormones in every pill.

To delay your period using a typical 28-day oral contraceptive, you might follow this schedule:

1. Take active pills six weeks in a row.
2. Discard the placebo week in the first pill packet.
3. Take the inactive pills and have your period during week seven.

If you don't have any unpredictable bleeding or other significant side effects, you may be able to take the active pills continuously for nine weeks in the next cycle and 12 weeks in the next.

However, if you do have persistent unpredictable bleeding or other significant side effects, go back to the previous schedule. Until you stabilize on your new extended oral contraceptives schedule, regular follow-up with your doctor is important to address any problems or concerns you might have.



How to delay menses
Can you tell me how to use my birth control pills to prolong getting a period? I have a vacation coming up and my menstrual is scheduled to occur right in the middle of it.

While birth control pills are normally taken with 21 active hormonal pills followed by 7 placebo or iron pills, there are other ways of taking the pills to control the timing of when you get your menses.

Menses usually starts after no active hormone pills for 3 or 4 days. That is why if you miss more than two birth control pills, a menstrual period often starts prematurely. Then it is best to let it proceed and just start a new pack 7 days after the first missed pill.

You could start your menses earlier than usual by just discontinuing the active pills and starting a new pack 7 days later. Ovulation rarely takes place in less than 10 days after stopping a pill so this should not lead to pregnancy unless you forget to restart them at the correct time.

Rather than having your menses earlier and starting a new cycle, you could start a new pack right after the 21 days of active pills and then your menses would be delayed by 3 weeks.

We know from women who take pills continuously for endometriosis that eventually you may have breakthrough spotting or bleeding if you continue on active pills but that still should not affect getting pregnant.
