It's too late now. With better planning you could have used the pill to skip your period, but not if you're leaving Thursday.

Yes the pills will work and you should get them before leaving for out of townthis way you can get use to taking them will'l your out of town.

I believe you're supposed to start taking the pill the first day your period starts and you should have been told this by whoever supplied them.  Make sure you use protection until your next period and on the first day, start on a new pack.\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com

thats so not good, why would you do that? im sorry i just had to ask i think you defientley need to speak with whichever kind of doctor gave you those pills and they should have went over how to take them with you more thorougly. taking for at one time can be very damaging towards your body and mess you period up for a while. i think you need to get on the phone with them and find out what to do its there job to tell you how to use them, and your job to read the instructions. k-t and im sorry they went very thorough but atleast now you know

If she's on birth control pills she can skip the last week of non-hormone pills and start a new pack. This should keep her period from coming. Have a good trip!

it will work, take it at least 1/2 hour before you ride.  Bonine is great too, that's what the cruise ship docs give the seasick passengers

No. Plus you can miss a period when you are on the pill too.

Hi yes it does you should of started using the next pack straight away without any gap now that you have started taking the next pack i think you should go to your family planning clinic or GP as usually you would have to wait for your next period and start from scratch again this has to be a natural one with no pills but i would get medical advice just to be on the safe side as it sounds like you do not want any children yet.\nGood luck Hun

It shouldn't.  The pills you take during your period are placebo's to help you remember to take a pill every day.  You're body isn't receiving the hormones during that time, so starting at a different time of day, as long as you are consistent and don't forget to take one, you should be just at protected.

i've never heard of that or experienced it.  I've missed pills tons of times and never had that and ofcourse the next day you take 2 right, maybe if your close to your period when you miss and the menstration starts and then you stop it again your hormones get confused and like stuck maybe your cramps started and then stopped if your only a couple pills away from the white ones maybe just let the cycle flow that probly doesnt make sense to you because I never take the white ones there not anything anyways just sugar or something its just to keep you in the habit of taking the pills so to me i'm saying if your close just stop for the week if that makes sense.  Plus if your hormones are confused then it makes you kinda goofy otherwise it sounds pretty simple I think your fine just gotta get more in tune w/yourself Good Luck KIMBUR

Actually, you don't need a regular period unless you're wanting to concieve, and then you wouldn't take birth control. You would be jacking up your body to take a pill for a period the same time every month. Basically, the pill tricks the body into thinking that it's already pregnant (so you won't get pregnant). You gain weight, have tenderness in your breasts, are irritable and pretty much have pregnancy symptoms as normal effects of the pill. Please think twice before using them, as they are also associated with blood clots, infertility later and certain types of cancer.

If you are still bleeding(not breakthrough bleeding) and your on the birth control. Call your dr or ob/gyn right away that is not right. \n\nDo you mean yasmin 28 birth control? Its better if you take it the same time of day i've taken it our the next day because I forgot. \n\nNausea, vomiting, headache, stomach cramping/bloating, dizziness, vaginal discomfort/irritation, increased vaginal fluids, or breast tenderness/enlargement may occur. Acne may improve or get worse. Vaginal bleeding between periods (spotting) or missed/irregular periods may occur, especially during the first few months of use. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. If you miss 2 periods in a row (or 1 period if the pill has not been used properly), contact your doctor for a pregnancy test.

I'm not entirely sure why you would want to do that.\nTampons are not very healthy as it is, but I understand their convenience where our menstral cycle is concerned. But I would not want to use them if I didn't have my period. ANything inserted into your body for any long period of time is not a good thing. And if you forget and leave it in more than a day, you could end up very very sick indeed.

Do use backup contraception till you start your second pack of pills.  AND remember birth control pills do NOT protect against sexually transmitted diseases or HIV/AIDS.  Please be safe!
