Hi,
If the bleeding you have is scanty, you should continue to take pills and finish your pack You would get period after you finish the pack as usual. But if the bleeding you have is as normal period or if after continuing the pills, bleeding also continues. You should stop taking remaining pills (and discard them)Now start a new pack from 5th day of bleeding.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
