Hello, so i?m currently on the birth control that?s 3 weeks hormonal and one week placebo. I just caught my period today but for certain reasons I don?t really want to deal with it on friday. Can starting a new pack today or taking 2 pills stop or slow down the bleeding?

Though not very clear I assume you are asking to delay period. If so one can take active tablets from new pack but not to make problem in treatment of next cycle would suggest to use inactive tablets and completly new packet later keeping aside a packet from which 2 -3 active tablets used.
