Changing BC cycle

[tennis1089]

I want to change my birth control cycle so that I never get my period on the weekends. Right now I am a sunday starter and I want to switch to be a thursday starter. Tomorrow (wednesday) I start the white pills, is it bad if I start a new pack on thursday?

i took 1 placebo pill, then started a new pack on thursday. and i had sex yesterday, i won't get pregnant right?

im 51 and using Seasonique.  Its no period and thats a PILL period not a regular one thats only 3 days every 4 months.  if I dont want that for 3 days i just keep taking every day non-stop for no period ever.  I love it.  no more thick blood, tampons, PMS, nothing.  you dont need to get a period ever.  just take your pills every day when the placebo ones start dont take those start a NEW pack. Just the stress of no period is great. I live here in Old Mexico-Guadalajara and a box is only 80 pesos.  Shame the same pills in the States is 3 more times as much. Think of the savings not having to buy pads and tampons! I hope ALL women are reading this who HATE getting their period especially at my age start taking this BC method.  The stress of wondering if your cyle will change or not and then you want to plan a vacation with a lover.  ALL thats over using this BC method.  The 2 low hormones in this medication is a GREAT balance for women pre-menopause also.  By the end of the first week I felt so good, with more energy.  No weight gain and NO bloatiness.    PERIOD sufferers and/or haters !  USE this BC method.

I started mine on a Wednesday and I don't have my periods on ALL weekends. I just waited a week, didn't have sex, and just starting taking the pills again everyday. But I'm not a doctor, but it worked fine for me!
