Period on my first week of birth control

Betty

Hi!

So I just started taking my birth control last Sunday and yesterday, I got my period??? I'm kind of confused because this is around the time it was supposed to start but I thought birth control prevents it until the placebo week. Any advice/explanations???

I'm taking microgestin Fe 1/20
