Will Taking Active Pills From Birth Control Kit Stop The Ongoing Periods?
I am on birth control and I was planning to skip my period this month. Unfortunately my period started a couple days early, while I was still on my active pills. Since I wanted to skip it, I proceeded to a new pack and am starting to take the active pills from that. My period is extremely lite (I think because it is trying to fight through the active pills I am still taking) If I continue to take my active pills will my period stop?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, if you continue to use the oral contraceptive then your period would continue to lighten and eventually stop soon.
The oral contraceptive can be used in this way if a person is trying to skip the cycle.
I hope this helps
