Hi,
That's a good question. If a similar patient comes to my clinic, I would recommend continuing the pills and finish the pack without disturbing the schedule, irrespective of an early period.
This helps in maintaining hormonal balance. Disturbing the pill pack may cause hormonal imbalance, that may disturb next few cycles.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
