  • I want to delay my period because I am travelling. When should I be taking my pills?

    If you are on a birth control pill already and want to delay your menses, skip the placebo pills at the end of the pill pack and go right into your next pill pack. That will push your menses back by 3 weeks. You may get some spotting but you will delay your flow. READ MORE

  • I missed my period by 1 week. I want to take a pregnancy test. When should I?

    If you have regular monthly menses and are at risk for pregnancy, you should take a test any time you are more than 2-3 days late. Most home tests will be positive within 2 weeks of conception. READ MORE
