for this one time only it shouldn't be a problem to take your birth control pills just five days early to be on a different schedule. many women are deciding to do "three-month cycling" - taking the birth control pills continuously for three months in a row; having a menstrual period once every three months. this appears to be safe for most women but always check with your medical provider first if you are planning on doing this.
can i start my new birth control 5 days early to avoid my period starting? . i'm on birth control and have been on the inactive pills this week. my period hasn't started yet and i have plans this weekend and don't want my period on the weekend. would it be ok to start my active pills early as long as i go in the right order?
