Using birth control to push back my period? Is it too late?!

Using birth control to push back my period? Is it too late?

I'm right in the middle of menstration, and I am not on any form of birth control. I am going on vacation in the middle of August, and I'd really rather not get my period while I'm there. Is it too late to use birth control and skip (or push back) my August period? If it's not too late, what do I need to do?

Your body would need a few months for your cycle to get in sync with the pills. So I think you could TRY it, but don't depend on it. It might be too late to trick your body into not having your period at that time.

Talk to your doctor and let them know you would like to not have your period at that time, they might have a way to do it for you.

Edit: I never said that they'd have to be on it for several months before they can skip it, I said that it would take several months for their cycle to get in sync with the pills, so trying to skip their period might not work.
