I need birth control help!?

I just started this birth control last month and just got to the last day of my first pack. I started my period on the 4th pill of the last week.. the one where I'm supposed to have my period.. I don't know what they're called, lol. So if I'm still on my period, do I just continue onto the next pack anyway?

Also, for the fourth week, couldn't I get pregnant? Does my husband need to use a condom?

    Even if you are still having your period you need to continue to take the pills as scheduled. You should always use a condom unless both you and your partner have been tested and are absolutley sure that the two of you are clean.

    Yes, just continue on to the next pack as normal. The last days of my period always coincide with the beginning of my new pack. You can continue having sex without a condom. : )
