So if i take the white pills i will more than likely have a period?

"white pills" ?: Assuming that you mean the pills after the 21 active pills in a birth control pack , what bleeding occurs, will occur after one takes the inactive pills ("placebo pills"). It is not a "real" period, and is only light bleeding, due to the low level of estrogen in the current OCP's.
