This answer comes from my gyno:
The sugar pills are simply "reminder" pills. They are included in the pack so that you can stay on schedule and not have a hard time remembering to take the active pills once you start week 1 for the next month. If it helps you, you can take one sugar pill each day at the same time you would take your normal pill. What I do is simply throw one sugar pill away every day of that 4th week, but i do that at the same time I would take my active pills so that once I begin the active pills again I remember to take them at that time every day (granted, I have a terrible memory!). Whether or not you're actually bleeding is irrelevant.

Do periods stop even if you're on birth control pills?
With the traditional birth control pill you take a cycle of pills every day for 21 days and then 7 days of sugar pills. In the 7 days of the sugar pills you have a period.

In both cases after the period you start a new cycle of pills.

Does the birth control pill stop ovulation the whole month even during your period?
Hi there - Birth control pills When a woman gets her period, it's well AFTER ovulation has occurred.

your body is readjusting to the horomones most likely. not all birth control pills have the same horomones in them. even when you stop the same brand and start the same brand again the body must get used to it.
