I'm not sure what your question is.
Are you planning to take active pills so you don't get your period on the 12th? As long as you have been on the pill for seven days, you will be protected on the 15th.
The way you prevent menstruation with the pill is to skip the inactive pills (the last seven pills which should be a different color than the other 21 pills.) Throw them away. Begin taking active pills normally from the new pack as soon as you finish the active pills- 21 pills- from your current pack.
