Can I Stop Taking My Birth Control 2 Weeks Into
Question: Can I stop taking my birth control 2 weeks into the pack to have my period early ? I am going on vacation the week I’m done the pack and was wondering if it’s okay to go off the pill for a week then start again
Brief Answer:
Stopping contraception pills will not make the period to come earlier.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
Stopping the pills two weeks earlier will not make the period to come early. If you stop the pill the period will again come on the day you expect them. You can try to use progesterone like pills such Utrogestan or norethisterone the last week of cycle instead of inactive pills. You can use progesterone like hormones for up to 10 days then stop them and period will come in 7days after stopping them. This way you can delay period but there is not a certain way to bring them earlier.
Hope I answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
Stopping contraception pills will not make the period to come earlier.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again. I think if you stop it at mid pack you won't have your period started.
I don't understand how you have been taking the pills lately that you skipped period but the best advice is to take them correctly as advised by your doctor.
