It might.

Your pill will probably at least make your period lighter and shorter.

Just plan for a period, but it may not be as heavy or long. Also, rememeber that you're not protected from pregnancy and you'll need to use extra protection until you've been taking your active pills for a week straight (in case that's an issue Wink ).

What sport are you in? Good luck this weekend!

Starting your pill will not make the period go away usually, at least not for a couple of days.

Remember that you need to start a new pack of pills. Just resuming the old ones will throw things off.
