    Maybe dont take any pills during placebo week? According to my birthcontrol pamplet the placebo pills are just there to keep you in the mode of taking a pill everyday. Also, "Traditional birth control pills make your reproductive system mimic a regular 28-day monthly cycle. For the first 21 days, you take active pills containing reproductive hormones. For the last seven days, you take a placebo. While you're taking the placebo pills, you bleed vaginally, as if you were having a regular menstrual period...By continuously taking the pill, you prevent hormonal fluctuations that are responsible for bleeding, cramping, headaches and other discomforts associated with getting your period.(http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/birth-control-pill/WO00098) so it possibly has something to do with your period. Also see- http://www.drdonnica.com/faqs/00004422.htm -hope this helps. You should really see a doctor though.
