A member asked:
If i get my period early, while on birthcontrol, do i still take the sugar pills even though its not when i'm suppose to have my period?

Depends. : This depends on how long you've been taking the pills. For example if this is the first month, then this is normal if you didn't start them with your cycle and they may not be effective the first month. Most likely you should continue taking all of the pills as directed.
