i forgot to take my birth control pill!
so i forgot to take my pill at 7:30 last night and ended up taking it around 2 today, and i took my one for today at my regular time. Except I just got my period...I was wondering if it will last the whole week or if i keep taking my normal pills will it stop it? Also, should i still take the week of placebos next week or skip over to a new pack?

Your period will last the amount of days it usually does. One time i messed up really bad on my birth control and got my period 3 times in one month all lasting 5 days, the normal days of my cycle. Just keep taking your regular pack. Don't skip to the next one.

Keep taking your pills normally. Taking a pill late once in a blue moon won't make your period come early or anything like that. Depending on how many placebo pills you have you might get your period while you're taking them, or even after you're done with them. You CAN skip the placebo pills to AVOID your period (but I've been told it's not recommended because it can screw up your period- so don't do that, haha. People usually do this for things like a wedding or major vacation).
Your period can last anywhere from a few days to about a week on the pill, at least that's the norm. If you've started taking it within the past few months, give your period time to regulate. Soon it'll be coming like clockwork.
If you've been in the pill for a long time & this is an abnormal thing, talk to whoever prescribed them at your next appointment. You might need to switch brands or something like that.
