No
When you want to get pregnant.
Marvelon consist of 28 pills in a package. You take them from the day after your period ends and do not miss any pills. There are 21 active and 7 reminder pills. Make sure you take the 21 pills first before taking any of the 7 reminder pills. After the last reminder pill is taken you start on a new package the next day.
The cycle is three weeks of hormones, one week of no hormones, as you pretty much figured out by the fact that of the 28 pills in the pack, seven of them are placebos. When BC pills first came out, they used to only give you the 21 hormone pills. You were supposed to take the pills for 21 days, then not take pills for seven days before starting hormones again. The problem with that is people would start taking the pills again at nine days or eleven days or whatever, and a lot of women got pregnant. "How could this happen? These things are supposed to keep you from getting pregnant!" And they do, if you keep to the schedule. Now, they give you 21 days of hormones and seven placebos, and you get to take one pill every day. If you get into the habit of always taking a pill every day, you won't mess up the cycle. So as to your answer: if you can remember to start taking the hormone pills again after seven days, you don't need to take the placebos. Then again, they won't hurt you if you take them.
In general the answer is yes... it would be ideal if the pack of pills is one of the "mono-phasic" types meaning all of the active pills are the same dosage. all of the active pills will have the same shape and color in a monophasic pack. Just try to get a new prescription in time to take a full 21 days of pills without missing any for the best results. also make sure the pills have not expired or may not be as effective.
Hello. You will get your period after the 21 days. There is a 7 day break in the pills - this is when you will get your period. Or no later than a week after the 7day break. It will be around 4 weeks exactly after you started taking BCP.
When the birth control pill was first developed, it was thought that women would not believe that a pill taken orally would work to prevent pregnancy. Developers built in a pill free week when withdrawal bleeding would occur. That bleeding isn't necessary medically or for the effectiveness of the pill, but it was a marketing decision designed to make women feel that it was a natural process and did not disrupt menstruation. Since then, many pills have been designed with three weeks of active pills, i.e. pills with medication. Some packets also include a week of placebo pills with no active medication, but that are offered so that women using the pill can stay in the habit of taking one daily. More recently, pills have been marketed that have more than 21 active pills per month. Because pills vary, you should take yours as advised by your health care provider, pharmacist, or pill pack patient insert.

You must take your pill daily for 21 days - then stop when you have your period - and begin another pack of pills that Sunday as scheduled. It MUST be taken as prescribed to be properly effective.
It's not
Birth controls come in packs of 21 or packs of 28. Packs of 21 have the 3 weeks of the evenly spread hormones which you take around the same time everyday. On your fourth week you DO NOT take ANY birth control and your period should come sometime around that. For packs of 28 (the pack I have) the fourth week is just sugar pills to remind you that you must take the pills everyday. If you have the pack of 28 your period should come around the 2nd or 3rd day you start taking the sugar pills.
