Is It Fine To Take Birth Control Pill Before The Period?

It has to do with birth control. So im on birth control pills but I ran out on Saturday and I had unprotected sex with my partner. I went to the clinic and the gave me morning after pill and a refill of pills but they told me I have to wait until I get my period to start with my pills again. I wanted to know if Its ok if I start with my pills or do I have to wait for my period.

hi, since you have missed your pill and taken morning after pill which is an emergency contraception(to be taken with in 72 hrs) you should wait for your period to come and then start with a new pack.no need to take the pills now.hope your doubt is clear
