Hello there, I would appriciate some advice 
I recently started taking some tri-phasal pills when I was previously on mono-phasal. I was a bit late taking a couple of pills the first or second week (not in a row but within the same week) and I started to have my period shortly thereafter. I am on my last week with the "light horemones" but I've pretty much already had a full period. So now I am nervous that if I take my full placebo week, I will ovulate during that time since I'm already in the period phase.
Am I just being paranoid or is that actually a possibility? I considered just skipping the placebo week but I've read thats not a good idea with tri-phasal pills.
Any advice?
