If I got my periods in the last week of using Orlifique active pills, should I skip the placebo?

You should continue to take Orlifique tablets according to the scheme. When using birth control pills, there is no typical menstruation, and withdrawal bleeding, caused by a break in taking hormones (taking placebo pills or a break between subsequent packs of the drug). If bleeding occurs while taking active pills, it is called mid-cycle bleeding - a side effect that can occur not only at the beginning of using contraceptive pills, but also after a long time, e.g. as a result of illness or excessive stress. This is usually not a cause for concern. It also has no effect on the effectiveness of contraception.
