If I skip the green birth control pills, will it effect me?!

If you start the next pack instead of taking the sugar pills (which i assume are your green ones) then you'll still be okay, you can do that for up to three months in a row, however with the regular pill you may have some spotting when you do that changing to a pill like seasonique could prevent the spotting

But as long as you continue taking the actual pills and not the placebos you should be safe, well as safe as your are any other time

I used to work in a doctors' office where quite a few female MDs practiced. There were lots of times they told their female patients that they could skip the placebo pills to keep their period from coming on. One felt it was okay to do this every month, one felt it was okay to do it maybe 2 times a year, and one felt it was okay to do this every few months.

I'm assuming you want to skip the pills and go right to the next months pills to avoid your period.
Are their health problems that could come with it? Doubtful for one month.

It is something you should discuss with your doctor, but the docs all felt that, in a woman's life, there are times we should be able to go without a period, like on a vacation or a wedding and honeymoon.

No, it will not effect you. The green pills are just for you to take in order help you remember to take a pill every day. They have nothing in them. I always skip mine. You may not be able to have sex though because your period is going to come that week.

Been on birth control since 2004

yup, you'll be fine. the green pills are pretty much just sugar pills, they have no effect on your hormones
