The white pills are placebo bills and they don't have any horomones in them. They are just reminders so you remember to start the yellow pills on your next pack. I usually start AF on day 4 or 5 of the white pills and then it usually goes until I start the first yellow pill of the next pack.

My AF (funny name) starts on Tuesday or Wednesday (I start all my packs on Sunday) of the white pills, and it lasts six or seven days, with spotting towards the end of that period. Long I know. That means that I'm still spotting when I start the next pack.

I don't even take the white pills anymore. I have taken Yazmin since Feb of 2006. I know what day I start my pack so its easy for me to remember. My last "active" pill is on a Friday and by Monday like clockwork I start. By Wednesday I am through. I love it. I am going to start Yaz b/c my Md does not have Yasmin any longer, so I know it will be about the same amount of time...actually pretty excited about it!

When I took it, I never took the white pills either. I would take my last yellow pill on Wednesday night and would usually start my AF the next Monday or Tuesday. Then I would begin the new pack on Thursday. I took it for four years, and it was like clockwork the entire time.

I've never taken the white pills. I take my last yellow pill on tuesday and on friday I will start my AF every time. So... for me it's only 2 days until I start and then by wednesday or thursday I will usually be done by then. I guess everyone is different.

Wow, how bad am I? I never took the white pills and waited for my period to start (sometimes this could take up to 3 weeks!) then would only start the new pill once I had completely finished my period. I did this for ten years, and no pregnancy - scary - I didn't even really realise I was doing it wrong.

I just finished my first pack of Yasmin on Monday night. Yesterday, I was positive I would wake up to AF due to all the cramps. Today nothing. I even had EWCM (sorry for TMI). I am waiting to see if AF starts. I am supposed to start taking the pills again on Tuesday.
This is all very strange to me. Why would I have EWCM if the pill did what it was to do?
