Okay so I have prom coming up shortly...
and I will start my period the day
before.. and I don't want that! I have
been on Yaz birth control since December.
I have read from previous posts that if
you start a new pack immediately after you
finish an old pack instead of taking the
placebo pills then that delays it.. this
works? And I will still be protected? And
how long does it delay my period?
Thanks!!

It SOMETIMES work...
You may skip the placebo pills and end
spotting or bleeding anyway, and it could
last for 2 weeks, which is also a common
occurrence.
You are still protected from pregnancy.
Your period does not make your protected,
your hormone pills do, so skipping a
period and starting a new pack cannot
affect your protection.
It CAN delay your period until you stop
taking pills to have a period, or you can
wait to the next months placebo pills.

If you plan ahead and start skipping your
periods a few months early, you'll be more
likely to successfully skip it when you
want to.
