firstly it isn't a placebo, merely just a sugary pill to keep you in the habit of constantly taking them, so that you don't start late. The answer however to your question is no, typically you don't get pregnant on your period, however, it is common in teenagers because hormone levels can change durastically so quickly
I would not advise you to be having sex while taking the sugar pills, but if you absolutly must... USE A CONDOM!

Can you make your menstrual come by taking the placebo pill if you never been on birth control?
No, the placebo pills are exactly that, placebo. (just sugar pills). It would be like expecting a tic tac to bring on your menstrual cycle.

If you think you are pregnant and want your period to come, go to a doctor/do a pregnancy test or take the morning after pill if it's not too late.
