Shouldnt the placebos just be on the days when I'm having my period?

your body isn't going to be like a machine...the minute you take a placebo, your period starts.. and the minute you start taking the hormone ones... your period ends.
Mine is the same way.... I start the placebos, but my period doesn't usually show up till about tue/wed. By the time sunday comes and its time to start a new pack... I am still having a light period.
It is that drop in hormone level from taking the placebos (and not real pills) that triggers your period to start. This isn't automatic...hence the 2-3 delay.
Like some of those pills, Seasonale... you constantly take the hormone pills and only take the placebos like everyone 3 months or something.... so then you get your period only 4 times a year.
