hi. So i just took one placebo but do not want to get my period this week because something special was already planned. Should i just start a new pack right away since i have not gotten my period yet? will that still keep me protected?

HI, Lenna!

If you've already taken one of the placebo pills, then you will most likely still start your cycle in a day or two, there's really no way to prevent it now.

In the future you could do that to skip your period, just keep taking active pills and toss out the placebos, as long as your doctor approves, but it's a bit to late right now.

Any break from the active tablets, even just one day, can allow for a withdrawal bleed to occur.

Is there anything else I can help with?
