going on vacation and dont want period
I'm going on vacation from June 7th to the 13th. I am not on birth control right now and would like to know when and to start taking birth control in order for me not to get my period during my trip. Also, what kind would be the best? Thank you!
Answers:
I say discuss with ob/gyn asap. It has been a long time since I first started birth control pills. I think you need to be on them a few months for them to be effective. You can take pills continuous to avoid your period, meaning when you are going to take the non-active placebo pill just start a new pack on that week (the week that will be your period week).
Answers:
start them as soon as possible. You can talk with your doctor to figure out when to start them to avoid having your period then, but the longer you are on them, the more sure you can be about avoiding your period.
