Question: Hi im taking levlen ed i only started taking it last week on Thursday i started my white sugar XXXXXXX this Monday and i have not got my period im having brown discharge but thats it i also have an ovarian cyst
Brief Answer:
Take the 21 active pills first.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The pack of Levlen Ed contains 21 small round beige active tablets and 7 white sugar pills. You should first take the 21 active tablets and then start with the white pills. Each blister pack is marked with the day of the week. Take your first tablet from the red area on the blister pack corresponding to the day of the week.
Follow the direction of the arrows on the blister pack until all the tablets have been taken. Since you started taking it last thursday you are not likely to get a proper withdrawal bleeding after taking just 6-7 active tablets.
It is best to finish all the active pills first and then take the white pills.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

so even though my period was due on Monday i shouldve just kept taking the normal beige pills?
Brief Answer:
Yes.
Detailed Answer:
Yes. Even if the period was due you need to continue with the beige pills and after 21 days of beige pills you will have the period. The bleeding can be lighter due to the ovarian cysts. Start with the next pack as soon as you finish taking the 7 white pills.
