Women : Women typically experience a very regular menstral cycle when they are on birth control pills because the hormone levels are controlled. However if you miss even one pill or take a pill too late, the hormone levels in your body can fluctuate, causing your period to come early. Continue to take your birth control pills as directed. Since your white (sugar pills) are coming due, you may even experience another period this month.

Birth control pills: Today's oral birth control pills are very low in hormones, so if not taken within the hour of the previous day's pill, bleeding or cramps may begin. Stop your pills now, wait 5-6 days, and start a new pack of pills, but make certain to take them "on time". If bleeding does not stop, see your gyn physician for testing.
