Taking pill to regulate period have taken for 6 days now my period has begun do i continue taking pills or do i need a new pack?

Depends: It sounds though like your doctor has recommended you take pills continuously. If you bleed while in the middle of a pack, just keep taking the pills. If you're at the last week, you can start a new pack, as the last week is usually placebo pills. Hope that helps!
