I'm on the 4th week without having my period, but need to start taking my birth control since I'm going on vacation in 2 weeks. My period does not come regularly so I want to take my birth control now, but I don't want it to delay my period even more so that I would have it when I go on vacation in 2 weeks. So I don't know what to do
Will birth control activate my period?

Start the pill. You won't have your period until you get to the sugar pills. However you can skip it too. When you get to the week without active pills, instead of taking the break, start the next pack. Keep taking the new pack and when you get to the break, take it. You should have your period then. You will need a condom for the first 7 days of taking the pills.
