Question
I just started taking the pill. I started my period with a whole a week of active pills left. So Do i start the inactive pill or keep taking the active one?

Answer
Jamie,

I am so sorry that I just got your question. I know you had to decide what to do in your situation. What ended up happening? I would like to know so email me at CHERYL51@aol.com
I don't usually recommend the birth control pill because of the risks and side effects. Any kind of hormonal birth control method will have chances of these problems. Is there any option that you could decide on instead of a hormonal method? If you want me to talk about this with you by email, I would be glad to offer information. When you email me, just put ALLEXPERTS in the subject line.

Hope to hear from you soon.
