Hello Yen

 

You have landed on our skin care site.  But I will try to answer your question.  The pills your doctor told you to throw away are most likely placebo pills.  They serve no function except to tell you when your period is most likely to happen.  You should begin the next pack after those days of the placebo pills are done. 

 

This is a question best asked of your doctor.  I hope that by now you may have called your gynecologist to ask about this. 

 

Thank you for your question.
