Hormonal birth control, when used correctly, can safely and effectively delay or suppress a period. Understanding this process requires knowing that the bleeding on hormonal contraception is not a true period, but a "withdrawal bleed" caused by a planned drop in hormones.

Up to 80% of women report experiencing menstrual cycle-related symptoms that can disrupt daily life. For many, understanding when to take Nostra CR-10, a synthetic hormone, is key to managing these issues effectively.
