Can i start using birth control pills without waiting for my period for this month?

Question

i'd been on bcp for almost 4 years, but i didn't take one for this month. the last time i stopped taking bcp, i didn't have my period for 2 months and then my face started breaking-out. the sooner i had my period that time, i took the pill again and my face got a lot better.

now, i should be getting my period but nothing's coming out. the worst part is, my face is breaking out again! :( i used all anti-acne treatments known to mankind but nothing's doing the job.. the only treatment that works for me is bcp.. i can't wait for another month or until i get my period start again coz my face's getting worst.. :(

is it bad for my body or will it mess up my hormones if i start taking bcp without waiting for my period to come?

Answer 1

You need to start when your doctor says to start.

Just let them know that you haven't had it yet and really would like to take it now.
