Skip birth control pills?

Question

I take birth control and they have the yellow pills, which keep you from having your period. Then for a week they have white pills, which is allowing you the time to have your period. Well, I went straight from yellow to yellow, and skipped the white because I didn't want to start my period. Well a while later I still started it on the yellow pills. In less than a week I will be on the white pills, and I don't know if I will get another period, or it I just messed up my whole period cycle now? Has anyone done this before and what happened?

Answer 1

Skipping is one thing... preventing it is another. My doctor told me that tyou can take a cycle of pills again to miss a period. But you can't do it for months at a time. It is very unhealthy not to bleed monthly... its just the nature of women-hood. You ovulate, you bleed. Even a little bit of blood for a day or two is better for you then nothing at all. I would go back to taking my pills normally, and use a back up until your body gets back to it normal cycle. Do not be surprised if your period is different while you are readjusting to a cycle.

Answer 2

Yeah, that happened to me too. You need to let your body catch up with the hormones. That's what birth control pills are. Hormones. I used to skip my period all the time, but it's not good to do it too often. There is a reason that it happens every month, and when you mess with the cycle too often your hormones get all crazy.

It does sometimes happen that you get on your period when you aren't "scheduled" just go with the ....."Flow". Stop taking the pills until your last day of the period. Then start taking the yellow pills again, and you should be back on track next month.

Answer 3

I used to do it all the time, would skip having a period for 3 months in a row. There is a BC on the market now that only lets you have one about every 4 months, think it works on the same principle. When I finally had one, it was a little on the heavy side but normal and didn't last but 3-4 days.

Answer 4

hi, first you must realize how the birth- control pills act. the yellow pills ,as you call them ,contain hormones that suppress eggproduction and the white pills are inert pills . once you stop taking the hormones, there is withdrawal bleeding which is equivalent to your normal period. if you go on taking the hormone pills continuosly,what happens is that the ovaries go into a state of suppression resulting in long period of absent menses with harmful metabolic effects on your body ...it's better to adhere to the prescribed regimen since1. you get to see the reassuring bleeding every month and 2. egg production is restarted soon after you stop taking the pills, in case you want to become pregnant. if you want longacting hormones, there are injections which could be taken once in 2-3months,
