Q: How Many Active Pills Before Period Stops

Ok, my question is how many active pills do you normally have to take active your sugar pills before your period will stop? I've only taken one so far and it's slowed it down considerably but it's still there. How many is normal?

Active User, very eHealthy

There is no 'normal' it will stop when your body tells it to. Just like before you were on birth control. With me I stop at about the first active pill. Once in awhile the second.
