Can Resuming The Pills Causes Any Problems To The Periods?
Hi,
I have been off the pill for several years but have been considering starting to take it again.
My period is due to start in 7 days and I'm wondering if i begin re-taking the pill now will i be able to skip my next period? Or will this badly mess up my cycle or not even prevent the period in the first place?
Thanks!

Hello,
Taking the pill a week before expected menstruation, will not likely prevent the bleeding. It would be best to wait to start the pill until you start your next cycle.
Hope this answers your question. Please let me know if you need further clarification.
