Discharge on the pill for 10-15days

I am on my bc pill and after about 8 days on it I started having a discharge but because it was light I continued the pill hoping the discharge would stop, but it didn’t. Instead it stopped at the week of placebo days and I am not having a period. I must add that I started the second pack of bc pills a day earlier (because the first pack I started on Monday instead of Sunday). Now I wonder what should I do? Should I start the next pack after the placebo days are gone like normal? If I get discharge again, should I continue?

Discharge isn't always a problem - but it probably should be evaluated by the prescriber. You can start your pill back a day earlier, not a day later. Sometimes discharge is clear or whitish, can be normal - other times associated with an imbalance of bacteria, PH and so should be tested at a medical office.
