Hey, you should have taken the first 21 active pills at intervals as close to 24 hours apart as possible, then start taking the inactive pills once a day for 7 days and your period should start somewhere during those pills and once you have taken the 7nth inactive pill, the next day, regardless of you period, you start a new pack of pills. DO NOT WAIT for bleeding or for it to stop, you should continuously be taking a pill everyday and after the 28th pill, start a new pack.
