Question
I have Trivora birthcontrol, and i just started the 3rd week of pills, the pink ones, but next week i dont want to have my period, so can i switch the sugar pills next week with another weeks?

Answer
Hi Addison,
Thanks for your question. I'm not a medical doctor so I would suggest you consult your personal physician. I don't recommend that you take the pills incorrectly. This is not healthy and could cause your cycle to be abnormal. Also there would be an added chance of pregnancy. There is always a chance of pregnancy even with birth control taken properly. If you have any further questions, please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
