Will Taking Birth Control Pill A Week Later Delay Periods For A Week?
I just started my period today. I usually take the birth control pill Camila. I haven t started it yet cause in hoping to push my period back a week next month. I want to do this cause I m going on a family vacation next month and don t want it then! I have never done this before, I m also very regular. Will starting the pill a week late help me with this?

Hi,
Yes you can delay the period by a week by starting the birth control pill a week later. By this method remember that you will not be protected against pregnancy in the first week of starting pills. So to avoid pregnancy either abstain from sex if you are sexually active or use barrier method of contraception like condom, diaphragm.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction.
