The answer depends on the brand of pill you're taking. If it's Ortho Tricyclen or Ortho Tricyclen Lo, you should start with the white pill. If you're taking another brand, ask your halth care provider or pharmacist.

If you start your birth control on Sunday, it is not uncommon for your period to come slightly later than 28 days from the period in which you based your Sunday start. Your period will occur any time between 22-28 days from when you started the Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. The progesterone component of the birth control is what prevents you from having your period. The withdrawal of the progesterone (which starts with the placebos) causes the endometrium to become unstable and thus bleeding occurs. So, if you started the birth control a few days after your period, you may extend the time until your next period because you are supplementing progesterone for a few extra days than your body is used to and so menses won't occur until after the progesterone is removed (and the placebos are started).
I have been taking the same pills as you and just stopped taking it mid month. may not have been the brightest idea because now my body is going through changes that Im not to sure are pregnancy related. Once you take your last pill before your sugar pills that would be the best time to stop.
No, there is no hCG in any birth control pill.
