Q: Starting Next Month's Pills Early?
asked by: annahandres on December 28th, 2006

I am in my first inactive week of birth control, as this was my first month on the pill. I started my last period and my first pill on a monday, and this inactive week/period week will end this sunday, so I will need to start my new pack on monday. However, I would like to back up my cycle and start my pills one day early (sunday) so that my period will come one day earlier (on average) and not occur as likely on the weekend. Is it okay to miss the last inactive pill day and start the hormonal pills one day early?

Bump- anyone? I am assuming it won't decrease the effectiveness any? Just maybe throw off the cycle (it's only been one month so it's not like the cycle is regular yet anyway).

Hi, from admin. We're currently getting a system in place on ehealth to make sure that you get a response from active members...Sorry for now if you're not getting any feedback. You can try one of two things:

1. Ask our online medical doctor and receive a free personalized response.
2. Try asking your question in other women's health forums like pregnancy, or sexual health. They seem to be the most active right now.

We'll be re-organizing our forums and asking our members to start actively helping others. If you're interested, give us a holler via private message.

Best, admin

Not all of our members are from america so sometimes you just need to hang in there for people to get online Wink

yes, it's fine to start your new pack a day early. :d
