Combo pill

Maddy

So I literally just started the combination pill like July 4th so I’m on my first pack and I got my period like 4 days after I started it and I’ve had my period now for 2 weeks. Is that normal? Also my placebo pills (the week I’m supposed to get my period) are coming up soon and I don’t want to have my period if it ends before I take those pills so is it wise if I skip the placebos and then just start my next pill pack just this month so I can regulate it or should I take them anyways to regulate it that way? Basically what’s a more wise decision so that my period can regulate and I don’t have to deal with it for two weeks or longer at a time?
