I have a special out of town event this weekend. My period should have, according to my birth control pills, started on this past Sunday and then would have been done by my trip this weekend. However, today is Tuesday and it still has not started. I have had some of the mild cramping and backache that normally precedes my period. I would like to hold my cycle off until next week if it is at all possible. Is there anything I can do to delay it for a week? I am now in my placebo pills for the month so those aren't doing anything, of course. Would starting next month's pills early do anything? Please give me any insight. Thanks.
