You are not at increased risk of pregnancy from taking active pills instead of placebo pills as long as you don't have a pill-free interval of more than seven days.

When missed pills cause an early period do you have your period when it is usually time even though it will be the second time in a month?
If you miss 3 or more pills it can cause you to have a period even thought its the 2nd period that month. This is because you missed pills. Missing pills puts you at high risk of pregnancy and problems in your cycle and how well the pill will prevent pregnancy.
If you forgot to take 3 pills and started your period then a week later spotted how long does it take for your next period to come?
Hiya! Your next period will come when you start your sugar pills. If it is late again do a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy .

Delay your period by 2 days.
Does your period generally come during the week taking the green pills?
Yes, if these green pills represent the placebo/sugar pills, then your period will start during the time you are taking the green pills. If you do not get a period during this week, you should consult with your physician. You may need to take a pregnancy test.
Will your period be late if you do not take the green pills?
In some birth control brands, the green pills are active pills and should not be skipped. In other brands, the green pills are placebos (sugar pills or reminder pills) and can be skipped. Talk to your pharmacist or health care provider to get information specific to your brand of birth control pills. If you skip active pills, your period will be early and you increase the risk of pregnancy. If you skip placebo pills, your period will be delayed.
What happens if you dont get your period on the 22nd day after taking last active pill?
Your period can arrive anytime during the non-active pills which are the 7 pills at the end of your pack. If you miss a period perform a pregnancy test.
What if you start your birth control after your period goes away?
If it's your first month of pills, you need to use a backup method of contraception for the next seven days. If it's not your first cycle, and you took the pills as scheduled and have not extended the pill-free or placebo week, there is no extra risk of pregnancy.
Do you have to take all of your birth control pills in the packet OR can you skip three to get to the sugar pills to see if you'll start your period?
I'm not sure why you would want to risk pregnancy to see if you get a period. If you're worried you're already pregnant, take a pregnancy test.
