so i have irregular periods and my doctor decided to put me on "the pill", but there is one thing i dont understand about taking them. she told me to start taking them the day she prescribed them being that she didnt know when my next period would be. so here is the question: Since i dont know when my next period is...how do i go about taking the inactive pills? if i come on my period during the second week of taking "the pill", do i skip to the inactive ones or not?
***************any help is greatly

You take the pills as prescribed. One per day at the same time each day.
Since you just started them, it will take a while to regulate. So even if you have not gotten your period yet, still take the inactive pills anyway. Sometimes women don't get their period until their third or fourth inactive pill.
Just take your pills as prescribed and keep taking them even if you don't get your period.
You could/should have talked to your doctor about these questions as well, they would tell you the same thing.

Take the first active pill on the 7th day after your period, then take them all (per day), once you get to the inactive ones your period will come naturally. Otherwise just start taking the active ones now and your body will do the rest.

The pill actually keeps your period from starting. Within 1 or 2 days of taking the inert pills, you will automatically start your period. Your pack has 28 pills, 21 active and 7 inert, just take them in order and your body will do the rest.

just take them completely...the inactive pills are so you can keep track and remain on top of the daily intake of the pills...they are sort of like, "Ok this is the time you have your period."
