If you take your other pills on time when you’re supposed to the rest of the month, you’ll get your period during the time of the placebo pills. When I was on the pill, my doctor told me I could skip the placebo pills and go into the next pack if I didn’t want my period. I think while your taking the bc pills you won’t get your period, therefore they have you go off for 7 days so your period will come.
