Did a quick start of microgestin 1-20.there are only 3 rows of active tablets.what do i do after the 21st day? will my period come? start a new pack?

Wait for menses: After the 21st day you should come on a menstrual period. If you don't, take a pregnancy test. If you do experience a hormone withdrawal bleeding ("menses") or the test is negative, start a new pack after seven days.
