Is it healthy to skip the placebo pills at the end of the pack and start on the new pack to skip your period? This topic has kinda been throw around to me, and some people have said its not healthy and some people say its okay. I talked to a child development specialist and she has said that sometimes it wont skip if you start you period on the 1st day of placebo pills, but i dont start mine until the 3rd or 4th day of the placebo pills. Could it work?
