Inactive pills - period?

Em

Question -

I’ve been taking Nortrel 1/35 and I’ve skipped my last 3 periods. I forgot to take it for two days so I decided to go ahead and make it my inactive pill week to have my period. So I’ve been on the inactive pills for 5 days, but I haven’t started yet, I’m just having brown discharge/some old blood like I normally get a few days before a period.

Should I wait to start taking active pills again until I actually have my period?

TIA
