Q: Starting Period When Starting the Pill

Hi ya'll
i'm on the first pack of my pills (desogen). I was just wondering when I could expect to start my period. The doctor who prescribed my pills told them that I could start them any ol' day. So, that's what I did. When do you all who are on the pill start your periods? Should I expect a longer period than normal? Will my period stop once I start taking the active pills again?
I could just wait and see, but i'm curious and want to know what to expect beforehand.
Thanks for your insight!
