The last pills in your Birth Control pack do NOT have actual medication in them. They're only there to keep you in the habit of taking a pill every day. You will get your regular period on the days you are taking the inactive/sugar pills. Brands vary, but most 28-day packs have 7 sugar pills in the last row. They should be clearly marked as such, and are always a different color than the active pills.
