Does anyone know if taking the last week in the pack of birth control pills (the sugar pills) is a bad thing when in the Induction Phase?

Re: Birth Control Pills
Do you know they're actually "sugar"?
Could you not take them? After all, they're just there to keep you taking one pill a day.
My take on medicine is ... you have to do what you have to do.J.

Re: Birth Control Pills
I used to get the 28 day cycle's, but i never took the green pills, lol. i just remembered to start my new pack the following week. wasn't even because of "sugar" just because I didn't want to take them. i don't use medical contraception anymore though because i wanted to lose my weight without worrying how it was affecting me. of course it puts a damper on my "night" life, but i'm happy with my results so far and my cycles are finally normal again...so I'm happy with it.
umm..word of caution though...i did get pregnant on the b/c by not taking it properly, lol. so if you're one of the types of people that can't remember to take pills all the time, i'd recommend keeping the extras, lol. i have a beautiful 7.5 year old son now, but boy at the time was i ever kicking myself

Re: Birth Control Pills
I'm on Yaz and It has 28 pills (24 with the meds and 4 sugars) I have never taken them and just take my new pack after the 4 days without any.. For me I hate taking them anyways, but I need to for the moment, so since the 4 pills are there only to "remind" you that you should take it at this time, I do without them. So far so good... I've been doing it this way for 10 months and baby free
It is okay if it takes me a little longer to get there, besides this is where I'm going to stay forever and that is a really long time!!!
