Can Oral Contraceptive Pill Be Taken To Delay Menstruation?

Posted on Tue, 22 Sep 2015

Question: I consulted a XXXXXXX gyno and started my first birth control pill on second day of my period [Aug 19] as advised and prescribed by him. I have a family function next week and the 21 pill pack will get over by that time. I do not want to get my period and want to delay. Please help. Can I start a new pack without giving the 7days gap so that I postpone my periods.
