In some Birth Control brands, the green pills are active pills and should not be skipped. In other brands, the green pills are placebos (sugar pills or reminder pills) and can be skipped. Talk to your pharmacist or health care provider to get information specific to your brand of birth control pills. If you skip active pills, your period will be early and you increase the risk of pregnancy. If you skip placebo pills, your period will be delayed.

What is the difference between the white and green birth control pills?
The white pills are inactive hormones which is when you're off your period. And the green pills are active hormones and these you usually take when you are going through your period. But its still okay if you're not on you're period during the green pills cause the pills could make you a little bit late on you're period.
If you are on the green pills and you are done your period are you still protected if you have sex while on the green pills?
okay well if the green pills are the ones you take during your period then no, you see the ones you take during your period are empty.
Does your period generally come during the week taking the green pills?
Yes, if these green pills represent the placebo/sugar pills, then your period will start during the time you are taking the green pills. If you do not get a period during this week, you should consult with your physician. You may need to take a pregnancy test.
If you skip the green pills and start your new pack as if you did take the green pills will you get your period?
NO. The green pills are just so you continue to take a pill every day. It is not a 'period' you have while on them just a 'withdrawal' bleed so if you want to skip it for a holiday or something, miss them out and go straight to the next pack.
If you forgot to take 3 pills and started your period then a week later spotted how long does it take for your next period to come?
Hiya! Your next period will come when you start your sugar pills. If it is late again do a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy .
