If i skip the placebo pills will it mess my period up?

Question

i mean my period is a bit wierd lately and i have been taking the active pills later and earlier a lot because sometimes i get home later. So would that be the cause of my funky period?

Answer 1

No, not taking the placebo pills wont do anything as long you start back with the active pills on time. and changing the time you take the pill shouldn't really mess it up either as long as you take it everyday. If you're young then it could just be your body trying to reglutate you're period, it'll change often

Answer 2

yes it would, birth control pills are designed to regulate, but in order to do that they must be taken with regularity, that means at the same time every time. If you skip the placebo pills, you will royally mess up your cycle. Take them, or at least take nothing on the days they represent, and then start taking your bc pills in a regular fashion.

Answer 3

The placebos are just that, placebo. They contain no hormones, but are designed to help you remember the pattern that you have to follow. If you are not taking the other pills systematically, then that will cause changes in your period.

Answer 4

Hmm interesting that the RN said it would mess up your periods. They actually have birth control that is 21 day which eliminates the last week inert pills. Basically, the last week is to keep on track and not forget pills make it a habit you know!!

Answer 5

if you dont take them, you will not get a period. the hormones prevent you from getting a period, so the other allow you to since they have no hormones. Its not dangerous though.

Answer 6

no, but sometimes taking the active ones at different times can effect your regularity
