hi. My sugar pills start on a Wednesday and I usually get my period that Friday. Then it continues until Tuesday the next week.
Its different in everyone. But usually anytime within the 7 day period and sometimes on the 1st day you start taking the pills again.
If by "pill" you mean hormonal birth control pill, then bare in mind that on the pill you do not menstruate at all - the women get during the placebo week of their pills is withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in hormones when going from active to inactive pills, this mimics menstruation but is in no way the same thing. If you forget to take a pill it is like going onto your inactive pills, the drop in hormones provided by the active pills can cause the uterus lining to shed - thus if you miss a pill you may experience a withdrawal bleed, like a period.
Depends on the drug's half-life
The sugar pills basically don't have any hormones such as progestin and ethinyl estradiol which allows you to have your period. The sugar pills are normally taken on the 4th week of your birth control cycle. You don't need to take the sugar pills as guided because either way you will have a period with or without talking the sugar pills on the 4th week. The sugar pills also keeps you on a schedule when on a birth control pill since many do not take them responsibly which may result in an unplanned pregnancy. You can also skip the sugar pills and go right into your next pack of active pills and just have no periods.

It depends on your individual body chemistry.
I am not a doctor, so you should verify with one before making a decision, but to my knowledge you should take all of the pills in the pack. I also learned recently that the last pills in the pack are not just sugar pills anymore. Many of these pills contain important vitamins and nutrients that your body needs during your menstrual cycle.

You do not have to take the sugar/placebo pills if you feel comfortable doing so, and if you will not forget to start your birth control on the correct day, and if you will not forget what time you are supposed to take your birth control. It doesn't make a difference on how many sugar/placebo pills you take because they do not contain any active hormone ingredients. You are still protected from pregnancy during your placebo week if you take your birth control every day at the same time, and if you have been on birth control for at least 2 months. To be on the safe side wait 3 months, that is personally how long I waited.
if your growing sugar crystals at home it takes about anywhere from 5 to 7 days
