There are actually a few, but only one is really on tv a lot.

Levlin 24:you only have a few placebos, and some women may only bleed for 1 of those days...

Yaz:just like yasmin, but lower dose and shorter placebo week!

Hvaing a peirod on birth control is a waste, because all it is is "breakthrough bleeding", it is not a 'real period' at all. The period week was added because women did not like that the original pill did not let them have a period, it seemed unnatural. Also they added a peirod week to try and get catholic support, because back then catholicism highly disliked the pill! Much like today.
