Usually after you start your period on the first sunday you take the first pill in the pack and continue taking all the pills. When you get to the last week you should start your period sometime during that week. You might not finish it during that week. The important thing is to take one pill every day at approximately the same time each day. Read the directions that came with your pack specifically, but that is how most pills are. I can't find anything on your pills specifically. I don't think you spelled the name correctly.

It doesn't need to 'even out'. That's the way it's supposed to be. Most women on the pill start to bleed at some point during the week the placebos (the white ones usually) are taken, which could mean she starts bleeding the last placebo day. Obviously then she'd still be bleeding the next day when she's supposed to start the next round of regular pill, and may even bleed for a few more days. After a few months on the pill, it will regulate, and you'll know which day of the sugar pills is 'your day' that you start, and it may or may not overlap into the regular pills.

If this is a 28 day pill pack, then yes, you start the 'active' pills while you are still bleeding. Typically, it's the Sunday after you start your period. You then take the 21 days of 'actives' and the 7 days of 'inactive' reminders. You'll probably take some of each while you are bleeding.
If the someone who told you about the white pills is not your prescribing physician, ignore them or call your Dr back for clarification.

From my experience and from what I know about birth control.. the first batch is to jump start your period and reset your cycle. I don't know why medically but it just seems to do that. It resets your cycle so that you follow the pills.. it'll be awkward the first few weeks and maybe the first two cycles but then after that, it'll be regular.

The hormones in the pills will make you bleed when they want you to.
