Sugar pills are the ones in the pack that dont have any of the hormones in them. What should you expect? Your period.

Oh, haha, yeah that happens. So I suppose I wouldnt expect much of a change for another week in your on-going period... Hopefully it'll stop once you get back on the regular pills after the week of sugar pills, but you never know. Your body still needs to adjust to the hormones and such... You might bleed for another month or however long... Pretty lame, but stick with the pills because once everything regulates you'll be a-ok, and your periods should, hopefully, be shorter and lighter than normal.

I took one sugar pill last night and I couldn't fall asleep for awhile and I felt pretty sick(dizzy, light headed, slight headache). Is this normal?

Well, there's nothing in the sugar pills... They're just to remind you to take the pills every day. So, whatever sickness you were feeling last night probably wasnt from the nothing in the sugar pills. Wink I dont know what else to tell ya, but there's nothing in the sugar pills, so dont worry.
