Early bleed w/o pill: The classic birth control pill comes in a package with 21 pills of one color (the ones to discourage ovulation and keeps the uterine lining thick), and 7 pills of another color (some people refer to them as "sugar pills") that either contain no medication or some progesterone, to allow (if no medication) or stimulate (if medication) uterine lining sloughing prior to preparing for the next cycle.
