Ok this may seem like a stupid question but its better to ask then not know. I am going on Vacation Feb. 28 and I am sched. to have my period the first week we are there, which sucks. My boy friend is coming with me this year and I would rather be focused on him rather then how bloaty I am and where the washrooms are! If i take birth control now, can I stop my period for the week or change when I will get it?
