When you have taken all the inert pills in the oralcon pack, (there are 7 of them) you start a pack of the new ones. Then you just keep taking a pill every day, ending with the inert pills (pink) in the nordette. When that pack is empty you start a new pack. It sounds like you weren't taking the oralcon as directed.

I was told by my gynea to take em in reverse. Starting with the pink ending with white.then when I get my periods to start on pink and so on. I had been on minerva prior & it really messed me up,heavy bleeding,hectic period pain,more than 7 days of menstruation... I then consulted with my gynea who directed me to take orolcan when I get my periods starting from pink in reverse. And I hadn't had any side effects my cycle has been regular aswell. I'm just confused if I should start the pack from the pink or where it says I should. Thank you
