The user expresses concern about missing their period and whether they can continue taking the pink pills instead of starting the placebo pills.

apparently the green pills are placebo pills I was going to start taking them when my period started it hasnt started yet & my friend said it hasn't started yet because I haven't started taking the green pills I've just been taking the pink pills
obviously, I don't want to take the placebo pills at the wrong time...so what do I do? Can I just keep taking the pink ones? It's not like I like my period anyway. Or is that dangerous. thanks

I know I am not pregnant, I took a pregnancy test

That is a question for your doctor. We don't give medical advice here.
 
Your doctor's office may also have an "Advice Nurse", who should be able to help you figure out how to get synchronized again.
