Yes you can skip your period by skipping the inactive pill week when using Tricyclen; you can do it with pretty much any of the many birth control pills out there.  (Personally, I use Alesse skip every once in a while).  (Don't do it for more than 3 months in a row though).

once you get on the pill you can't miss any other than the one to get your normal period. If you miss you will get your period until its done. if it last more than a week i would talk to your doctor

It is normal. I missed my period a whole 3 months when i switched my birth control. But go to the doctor just to be on the safe side.

You didn't have two periods in one month, you had a so-called break-through bleed which can happen when you switch from a pill with more hormones to one with less. You don't ovulate if you take the pill as instructed.

You shouldn't wait so long to take your pill, because yes, it will decrease the effectiveness and increase your chances of becoming pregnant. It's a good idea that you take a pregnancy test and make sure that you're not. And try to take your pill around the same time every day, otherwise you might end up pregnant, if you aren't already.

The birth control pill regulates hormones. They might stop the periods or at least make them irregular enough to help you survive through the rest of the year.

No- there is no way to make it come faster.  If you are on birth control, you can skip the placebos so your period is delayed, or ask your doctor for norithisterone to skip your period but that has to be taken up to 4 days before your period is supposed to start.

Yes you could be pregnant but not because of the lack of bleeding. I wouldn't be alarmed, it takes our bodies a while to really adjust to the pill. The pill basically is tricking your body with hormones and it can take 3-6 months to adjust. If you miss your next menstrual cycle, take a pregnancy test. To help your body adjust quickly, take the pill at the same time every day. This will also ensure the highest effectiveness.

Well, thats weird.  My doctor told me to take my pill starting on the day i start my period.  Go to your doctor and just ask him to explain it again to you and make sure you clearly understand.  Dont have sex if you are not sure you're taking it right!

If you are on the birth control pill, it typically comes in a packet with 28 doses.  Of these, the first 21 "active pills" contain medicine, while the last seven are placebos (containing no drugs).  If you skip the placebo pills you will skip your period.\n\nThe big deal about pills like Seasonale is that they do this without making you buy multiple packs... each pack has 3 months worth of "active" pills and only a week of placebos.  \n\nIt's been done by tons of women the world over.  You should probably chat with your doctor before trying this, but generally a period every 3 months is enough for women.

I take my pill at the same time everyday, but sometimes I take it late for various reasons.  You'll be fine as long as you don't skip one whole day.

Your period may be lighter and slightly irregular with the birth control, review your medication insert, if you have further questions, consult the prescribing physician/and/or your pharmacist.  Don't forget to use back up protection like a condom during the first 30 days of starting the pill.  Also while on the pill, be sure to use a back up method of contraceptives when taking an antibiotic as it will weaken the effect of your birth control pill.  Good Luck

Yes when you were on the pill you were pretty much regulated by a synthetic hormone now your body has to get use to it's on internal clock it is normal and within time it will regulate its self, still use some form of birth control if you don't want to get pregnant but one of the the benefits of the pill or the shot is regulated or missed periods.

Yes, it's totally true because contraceptive pills do affect the timing of the menstrual cycle "period." So nothing to worry about but don't stick to the six months period because it might become better in 1 month or in a year. Not particularly 6 months.

If you have just stopped taking your birth control pill you can get spotting in between your periods. if you are at all worried you should seek medical advise, just to put your mind at rest.

Yes they do. I stopped having my period for about 8 months one time and when the dr. put me on the pill, my period returned to normal. The flow was lighter and I could always know when to expect my period to start.
