Started Pill During Period

I started taking 'the pill' during my period, but my period ended before the end of the placebo tablets. Do I keep taking them or wait for the next period?!

Hello, Chilsy! How are you?
You're actually not supposed to start with the placebo tablets. You should have started by taking the first active tablet on the first day of your period. Doing that means you will be immediately protected from pregnancy, since they will prevent ovulation from occurring.
However, you can start them at any point in your cycle, but you'll need to take 7 active tablets continuously, before you'll be protected against pregnancy. That means no unprotected intercourse, until the 8th day.
You may also experience side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, bloating and irregular bleeding.
Is there anything else I can help with?
