Dear Anon,

Thank you for visiting the EmpowHER community and for sharing your question!

It's possible to delay or prevent your period with continuous use of any birth control pill. This means skipping the placebo pills and starting right away on a new pack. This works best with monophasic pills, which have the same amount of hormones in every pill.

Best,
