Hi, I'm supposed to start my withdrawal bleed somewhere in between the 10th and 16th of april. However, I have to be somewhere from the 18th-22th and I can't have my period. However, I'm scared of skipping since I'm on my first Belara pack, and this would be my first withdrawal bleed on this pill brand. I don't know if something bad can happen if I skip my first bleed? Do you suggest I start my period early, if so, how? Or do you suggest I just skip my period? Brand: Belara

Skipping is completely safe, nothing bad will happen, but it doesn’t guarantee you won’t bleed. I don’t recommend taking early breaks if you’re still new to the pill, more so because user error is much more likely for new users. Get used to the pill first and really educate yourself on how it works and is used.

@Yi_eune I have been taking the pill for almost 5 months now, this is just a new brand this last week. Is it still a problem to skip or no?

It’s never a problem to skip. It has no consequences whatsoever.

Skipping break weeks may lead to heightened side effects like irregular bleeding, cramps etc unfortunately it’s not guaranteed to prevent bleeding.
