No. Please take every single pill in the pack before starting a new one!

If you are on the 21 day pack without the sugar pills wait 7 days before starting the new pack. You should have your period during this time. You should be starting a new pack on the same day of the week each month.

Sometimes women get spotting before that last week however. I've seen enough cases of it on here that it seems somewhat common.
