Answers:
The last 7 "reminder pills" are when you should get your period. Just finish off this pack, and start a new pack when this one runs out.
Take the 7 reminder pills until they run out. You should get your period during this time. After that start a new pack. It's never good to waste the hormones because your body has already gotten used to that schedule.
Yes you can.
