I am wanting to change the time of the month when I have my period. I am currently on ortho novum 1/35 and am wondering the best way to do this. Is it safe to start a new pack immediately instead of taking the green inactive pills and if so is there a set amount of time to use a backup method to be protected against pregnancy.

ACCEPTED

The best way to change your cycle is to skip your inactive pills and start a new pack immediatly. If you have been on this birth control for more than 30 days there would be no need to use another form of birth control as well since you have the pills fully into your system.
