How can I stop only for one month my period menstruation?

How do u restart BC pills at the end of the month after your period do u finish the whole pack b4 starting the new one or do u stop taking them when ur period is here then start a new pack after?

• Answer:

  You take the entire pack of pills before starting a new pack, regardless of when your period starts or ends. You take one pill every day, for 28 days, and then you start a new pack of pills. The first 21 days (3 weeks) of the pills are "active" pills that contain hormones. The last 7 days (the fourth week) of the pack are placebos, sugar pills that do not contain hormones. These sugar pills are usually, but not always, a different color. NOTE: You do not have to take the last 7 days of sugar pills in order for the birth control pills to be effective. HOWEVER - many women find that if they skip taking those sugar pills during the fourth week, they do not always remember to start the new active pack on time, and in order for your birth control pill to be as effective as possible, you always want to take the pills on time without forgetting. So even though that last week is optional, I would suggest you take your pills every day. At least until you've gotten used to the whole process and are sure you can remember to start the new, active pill pack on the right day.
