A member asked:
I have been taking the bcp hailey 24 fe since april 3rd. why are there only 4 placebo pills in my pack? if i dont bleed on the placebo pills, is that worrisome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are only 4 placebo pills (not true placebo because it contains some iron) and make the total is 28 tablets. You will bleed 3-4 days after the last active pill. After you have taken the last iron pill in the pack, start a new pack the next day even if your period is continuing or if you do not have your period. If you do not get your period, consult your doctor.
