Can you get pregnant missing a sugar pill?
The placebo pills themselves don't protect against pregnancy, but the regular dose of hormones provided by your active pills keeps you safe from pregnancy even during the seven days when you're not taking them.
How many days into your sugar pills should you get your period?
The placebo week is when you “should” normally get your period, though your period may not line up perfectly with the placebo pills. For instance, your period may start on the 3rd or 4th placebo pill day and may last through the first couple days of the new pill pack.
