Q: I'm going to Florida next monday and I was wondering if I could prevent getting my period with the birth control I'm on. This week (until sunday) I'm taking my last set of hormone pills. Then I start the placebo pills all next week. Should I not take these pills or is there no way that I have a chance of it not coming? And if that doesn't work, is there anything else I can do to prevent it? Thanks, 17/f.
I don't really have experience with birth control at all, but could you just switch the weeks? Like, take the placebo pills this week and get your period over with so you'll be period-free the next week and take the hormone pills then.

i cant do that because im already taking my hormone pills :( but thank you anyways :)

hiii! i'm caroline. i'm eighteen years old, and just started my freshman year of college. i have a magificent boyfriend who i love more than anything. we've been together over three years. he's also my best friend. speaking of which, my other best friends are also pretty fantastic. another huge part of my heart is devoted to god. he's blessed me with so much more than i deserve, and even though i fall short on a daily basis, he's still there for me, every step of the way. i'm a pretty simple girl- i love anything fun, texting, being outdoors, swimming, playing soccer, frisbee, or watching football, spending time with my family, and most of all- living my life to the absolute fullest.

to be frank, i'm not going to answer your questions about girl drama or pregnancy, because i have no experience in either of those categories, nor do i want to listen to you whine about how "we didn't use a condom" or "she's such a &*^#%!!!!". however, i'm totally open to anything else. drop something in my inbox and i'll get to it pretty quick- i'm quite the net nerd (:
