Q: Changing Start Date

Hi,

i have been on marvelon now for about two months and have taken them everyday around the same time as well. The problem is, with my sunday start date (meaning, I also start taking the placebo pills on a sunday) I always get my period on tuesday night and continue having my period friday and saturday until I start taking my new pack of active pills on sunday.

Would it be possible to "cut my period short" right now by taking an active pill tonight or tomorrow(friday) in order to change this effect? I would always start the placebo pills on thursday or friday evening as opposed to sunday.

Yes, you can cut your period shorter by starting the active pills earlier, you just cannot extend the period week =)
