How many of the colored birth control pills do you take before you "start?"?

After taking all of the white pills, how many of the colored pills do you take before you actually start your period?

It will depend on the brand of birth control pill that you are taking. The reason I say that is because with some brands the period can start as soon as you start taking the colored pills (these are the placebos), and others you may not start until after having been on the colored pills for a few days.

However, I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
