According to The New Merriam - Webster Dictionary the word placebo means "an inert medication used for its psychological effect or for purposes of comparison in an experiment!." In other words it is not real medication!. You take the placebo pills during your period to form the habit of taking the pill every day!. As long as you take the real pill as indicated your chances of getting pregnant are slim!. That's right I said slim, because the birth control pill does not always prevent you 100% from getting pregnant!. In some rare cases woman have gotten pregnant while they were on the pill!. Also, if you take the pill irregularly you might have a chance of getting pregnant!.

Technically, when you begin your week of placebo pills you could skip them and then the following Sunday start your new pack (or whatever day would be your day that you would start the next pack)!.
