If you're on continuous birth control, you shouldn't be getting
a pd (staining is normal).
If you are on the 3 week control and then placebo for 4th week, you
should get your pd.
A lot of women on continuous bc have staining and/or bleeding problems
anyway, but the goal is to stop the period completely.
