Okay so I've been on tarina combination birth control pills for about a month now. I'm on my placebo pills week ( there are 7 sugar pills in my pack and I've taken 3) and my period has started. My question is can I start taking my active pills early or do I have to wait it out and go through all of my placebo pills since I already started them and my period(This question is for the poll)?? The package doesn't specify so I'm a little curious if that's okay and what the possible side effects are and how long I have to wait until I'm protected?
