Why did I still get my period???

Home More advice Health

I have been on birth control (sprintec) since January 2010...I have not missed one pill whatsoever and I was told by my doctor and a friend that if I wanted to "skip a period" I just needed to throw out my white pills and continue with the blue active pills. well I did that this month and I still got my period..it was not heavy at all but has lasted for the regular seven days...I am confused because I thought I would "skip" my period...can anybody please help me...any real answers would be greatly appreciated.. thank you very much
