I forgot to add that it's not spotting, it's definitely a period, and I've been taking the pill for years. I haven't missed any recently, or done anything I can think of to cause my period to come so early.

Why would you be spotting if you skipped the 7 non-active pills?
It happens very frequently when women try to skip the non-active pills to avoid getting her period. What most don't know and now you do is that many times it backfires and you end up spotting for longer than the period would have lasted. Skipping sugar pills can mess up your cycle.
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.
