Started my birth control mid cycle. should get my period this week, yet i have another week before placebos. can i skip to placebos and menstruate?

Dangerous thinking: Birth control pills should be taken properly. They are not like an Aspirin that you can just take randomly my dear. Do you have a doctor? You need someone to sit you down and explain to you how they are to be taken and the best person is your doctor who prescribed them.
