I am thinking about stopping the pill in mid-cycle in order to have my period early. I don't want to just skip it this month since I did last month.

Has anyone done this before?

Do you know if I will need to use additional methods of birth control?

You can't just "force" your period, and it isn't a good idea to stop mid-pack just for this reason. You'd be better off just trying to skip your period.

If you do stop the pill mid-pack, you will probably have some withdrawal bleeding, but it may mess up your cycle when you try to start the pill again. If skipping periods works for you, then do that.
