A member asked:

My doctor had me start the pill during my period & now i am not in-sync with the placebo pills. is this normal? how will i know when i start?

Depends: It depends on what you mean . When you are finished with your current you start the next. You should call your md and explain what is happening and ask for advice. She may want to do some testing, or may want you to try a different pill for better control.
