Can you skip the sugar pills if you're on yaz?
Yes, you can skip the sugar pills if you're on yaz
If you get your period early on in the cycle should you skip right to the sugar pills?
Hi, No never skip to sugar pills when this happens or it will throw your cycle off completely. Continue to take the pills as prescribed. So take the active pills and then the sugar pills when it is time.
Is it normal for you to have a period before the sugar pills?
Yes. The sugar pills do nothing but keep track of your days.
Can you stop taking your sugar pills before they run out?
Yes, as long as you start taking the hormone pills when you are supposed to. The sugar pills are just to keep you in the habit and make sure you start the hormone pills on the correct day. If you are stopping taking pills altogether you need not take any sugar pills at all.
Can you skip sugar pills two months in a row?
Yes, you can skip the sugar pills multiple months in a row. I always skip my sugar pills for three months. Women don't actually need to have their period as often as we do.
How do you start taking sugar pills again after missing them?
they're sugar pills.. you don't even need to take them. that's why they're called sugar pills. just go to the next one to keep track of your days.
Also which are the sugar pills Im guessing the last ones can you skip them?
If you don't know, check with your prescriber or pharmacist. A few birth control pills have no sugar pills, and there's no point in skipping active pills.
Is it normal to start your period on the last two days of the sugar pills and go into the hormone pills?
Hi :-) Yes, this is normal. There is no time limit for when you start your period during the sugar pills. As long as you start your period during the seven day worth of sugar pills then this is normal.
What is a placebo trial?
Sugar pills.
Are sugar pills a placebo?
Yes, they are.
If you miss 3 normal pills after your sugar pills can you get pregnant?
Gosh YES!
Could taking birth control pills and substituting sugar pills with real ones all month round be harmful?
It would be pointless. The sugar pills do not contain anything in them to keep you from getting pregnant. The placebos (or sugar pills) are there as "reminders" to keep you in the habit of taking them and so when you know to start a new pack. The sugar pills are not needed during your period,that's why they are sugar pills. If you take the placebos when you are supposed to be taking the "active" ones, they are inaffective and you might as well not be taking them at all.
