YES! Continue with the active pills, stopping after you have begun a new pack is not the answer!

What you are experiencing is break through bleeding. If you did not take any placebo pills, but went right to the new packet of active pills - you cannot be experiencing withdrawal bleeding - which is associated with the 7 days of inactive pills. This bleeding will more than likely only last a couple days.

Breakthrough bleeding is most common in the first 3 to 6 months, if you continue to have breakthrough bleeding consult with your OB/GYN.

If you are taking mini-pills (AKA POP or *"Progestin only Pills") call your provider as break through bleeding can mean you are ovulating.

*generic name: levonorgestrel

You shouldn't start taking the pill until you have started or have just ended you period. You should speak to your doctor about when you should start taking the pill if it has been prescribed to you for cycle regulation because you will need to make sure that the reason you have not had a period is not due to pregnancy.

Taking 4th placebo pill for your first pack of TriSprintec birth control and your period has not started yet Should you be concerned?

Don't worry just yet, if you've been stressing about it you'll be behind a day or two anyway. You should get your period by tomorrow, but if not try a pregnancy test. That will sort you out quickly. If you don't get it, keep this in mind: not knowing doesn't make the problem go away. Cheers and good luck, Squares
