Im on loestrin fe but i already have my period on the first day of my last row, should i take the inactive pills or not . im the first white now?

Just continue taking: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very common on birth control. It happens in about 11% of users. Its no big deal and usually self corrects over time. If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect and does not mean something is wrong or that the pill is not working.
