Hello
As oral Contraceptive: Althea stops ovulation, thins the lining of the uterus and thickens the cervical mucus. In combination, these actions prevent pregnancy.
So you may not get your menstruation.
After 21 days you have to take/or omit the inert (sugar tab for 7 days) then restart the tabs
Best wishes
