On birth control is it possible to get your period while taking the active pills or does it only come when you take the inactive ones?

No you will not get your period while taking the active pills only the inactive pills. You may have spotting. If this is bothersome contact your doctor and they may give you another birth control pill that will work better for you.

The biggest difference is that Yaz contains 24 active pills and 4 inactive pills, which have no active ingredients and Yasmin has 21 active pills and 7 inactive pills. The smaller number of inactive pills reduces some of the symptoms that occur just before and during the period.

As long as you did not skip any of the "active" pills in the packet, you are protected from pregnancy every day - including the week of your period and while taking the "inactive" sugar pills. Start your new packet on schedule.

Yes you are okay. Most birth control pills have 3 weeks of active pills and 1 week of inactive pills. Be patient and allow the inactive pills to take effect.
If you are on birth control and you know when you are getting your period how can you change it so you won't be on your period at a certain time?
if you're on the pill, skip the "inactive" pills and start again on a new pill pack instead. the inactive part is what gives you your period. it's safe and everything. Just continue to take your active pills without a break or taking sugar pills and you will stop your period. It won't hurt you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist.
Do expired birth control pills still work properly?
Yes and No. Each brand of birth control is different. Your period may or may not be longer than length of the inactive pills (the 4-7 pills at the end of the pack that are a different color). The only pills that "ok" to skip or miss are the ones that are inactive. Some pill brands such as Loesterin 24 are not just placebos (sugar pills) but they contain iron which is helpful when you are on your period because it helps replace the nutrients in the blood lost during your menstrual period. There is a reason the inactive pills are there. They are there to help you remember when to take the next active pill. It is okay if you miss an inactive pill while on your period but I would recommend taking them anyways just to ensure that you know exactly which day to start taking your active pills again or to gain nutrients that are lost during your period.
Do you get your period on birth control?
No, you don't get your period on [hormonal] birth control.Hormonal birth control works by stopping your menstrual cycles so that you don't ovulate, and as you don't ovulate you also don't menstruate. The bleeding women experience on hormonal birth control such as the pill is a withdrawal bleed caused by a drop in synthetic hormones when going from active to inactive pills. Withdrawal bleeds are meant to mimic menstruation but they're not the same.
