So i am on birth control and i just started fitness and we have to go swimming in two weeks and i cannot use tampons and i am suppose to be on my period the week we go swimming. So could i just skip my pills for a week like when i dont swim so i start my period early. Once im done my period could i just take the pills i skipped. Im not on birthcontrol because im sexually active i just take them for acne and to regulate periods.

This was three months ago so you may not need help any more but anyways. There should be directions of use with your pills, but I find with mine that I can in fact have an early period and continue with my others afterwards, or skip my period for the month entirely. With some pills you can actually skip your period for a year or so, although I wouldn't recommend it but it's definitely ok to skip a month if need be. Just make sure you take the pills in the order indicated as some pills may have different amounts of hormone stuff in it so there may be a particular order. I usually only have mine once every 3 months and im fine but i am on monofeme. If your really unsure ask your doctor. Hope this helps.
