Hi. taking birth control. last pill was ontuesday period didn't come i'm not pregnant for sure. when can i start the next pack?

Stay on schedule.: Stay on schedule. Start your next pack when you are supposed to. Any spotting would be considered your period. If there is any question of pregnancy, which you say there is not, you can check a test.
