If you start your period on the first day of inactive birth control pills?

Say it's the Sunday you start your inactive pills, and you start your period that day. I know you're supposed to start the active pills on the first Sunday after your period starts, so what should you do in that situation? Should you start the active pills that very day, or wait until the next Sunday? I start my inactive pills next week, so I'm just wondering what to do if this happens.If you start your period on the first day of inactive birth control pills?
The first answer is right. Sunday start only applies to when you're starting them for the very first time. After that it's just one a day, all the active pills, then all the inactive pills, never missing a day of either, and regardless of when your period is.If you start your period on the first day of inactive birth control pills?
Take the full week of inactive pills and then start your new pack. The Sunday start rule only applies to when you're starting birth control pills for the very first time. Once you're on them, you're just supposed to take all the pills in the pack and then start a new pack immediately. You don't have to worry about when your period actually comes. On some birth control pills my period would come on the very last day of the inactive pills. It takes awhile for everything to get regulated.
Never change your birth control unless you consult with your doctor, you have to take it exactly when you're supposed to or else you will screw with your hormone balance and your cycle will be off.
You take the full week off. That is how it works.
