What could cause you to experience an extremely painful and clotty period with less bleeding than your normal period during the placebo week your first month on the pill?

This is most likely due to recently starting Birth Control as this happened because your body is still adjusting to the medication. If it happens again next month then see your Doctor.

What day of the placebo week should bleeding occur or is it totally random?
It really depends. I know I start on the 2 or 3 placebo pill.
Can you stall your period with birth control pills?
Yes, but if you'd like to do so, it makes sense to plan early, as you may experience breakthrough bleeding when you first start to use them, or when you first start to skip placebo pills.

Is it an actual period if you miss birth control pills?
No bleeding that you have on birth control pills is an "actual period." Instead, it's withdrawal bleeding brought on by the drop in hormones when you miss pills or when you have your normally scheduled placebo week.
Can birth control pill make you start your period 11 days early?
If you're using hormonal birth control pills then you no longer menstruate. The pill works by suppressing your menstrual cycles so you no longer ovulate, and thus you no longer menstruate. The bleeding women experience while on the pill is withdrawal bleeding caused by the drop in hormones when you go from your active to inactive pills - if you start taking your placebo pills 11 days before you would have normally started your period then this will explain earlier bleeding. If you are new to taking the pill it is also completely normal to experience irregular bleeding for the first three months.
Do you take birth control while you are on your period?
You take the birth control pill as scheduled regardless of any bleeding. It's possible that you'll be taking an active pill while still bleeding, or may start bleeding before your'e on the placebo week, if your brand of pills has one.
Can the bleeding after missing a birth control pill be seen as menstrual?
When you're taking the birth control pill, you don't have a menstrual period. Instead, you have withdrawal bleeding. Menstrual periods are vaginal bleeding the follows ovulation by 14 days. Withdrawal bleeding is vaginal bleeding brought on by sudden cessation of hormone ingestion. Whether you have unscheduled bleeding from missing a pill or scheduled bleeding during your placebo week, neither is called a menstrual period.
Will you get your period if you start a new pack of birth control pills instead of taking the 4th week placebo pills?
Probably not, but you may have unscheduled bleeding or spotting.
Should I be having a 2 week period while on the pill?
Usually no, sometimes you may experience a side effect from taking the pill which is called breakthrough bleeding. Breakthrough bleeding is a nuisance that can last up to a week, which in sense makes you think it is a regular period but actually its not. Most likely you started breakthrough bleeding during your last week of active pills and then you started your "real period" during the placebo week. If breakthrough bleeding still occurs after 3 months, it is recommended that you consult your physician, this may mean you need a higher dosage of birth control.
