Birth Control Pills

i know, this is the most morinic question you will ever read in this site. i am 32 years old and have never been on a pill. a month ago my OB gave me two packs of birth control pills to start and see if my condition called endometriosis can be helped with birth control pills.
here's my question: last night i took the last of those brown pills (i think they're 4 or 5 at the end of the month just before i am supposed to get my period). well no period yet. so i don't have any of those brown pills to take, i have the brand new pack but i thought i start taking the white pills the day i get my period.
i know i am getting confused as i am typing please bear with me.
so what do i do if i don't get my period today? do i take the white pill, or do i not take any pills? if i don't take any pills when do i start taking the white pill again?
i know i could call my ob and ask but i feel so stupid asking this.
EDIT: for sure i am not pregnant. i got pregnant with my girls via invitro, and even if my body was capable of getting pregnant there is a natyral process that needs to take place for it to happen and since i have not done the natyral way in months and months and months (if i tell the true number i'd freak people out).
please help

Sue is right. Were there 28 pills in the pack or 21? If there are 28, don't skip a beat, take the next one. If there are 21, you need to wait 7 days before starting another one. I was on the pill for 25 yrs, your body will take awhile to adjust to it. No worries.

You should take a pregnanacy test if there is any chance you could be pregnant. If not then yes start your new pills tonight! You just don't want to take birth control pills and be pregnant. Good luck I hope you feel better!!

As a fellow sufferer from endo, I sympathize.

As for advice on what to do, your doctor is the best source of advice. Don't worry about bothering the office, that's why they make the big bucks.

Hope it all works out.

Vlora,
You need to go ahead & start taking the pills in the next pack sometimes it takes your body awhile to get used to the birth control pills. After you finish the second pack I would talk to your doctor & see what they have to say & I hope it helps with your endometriosis. I don't know what the symptoms are for endometriosis but if they are anything like being polycystic I feel for you.
My daughter was also an IVF baby so I know what you mean about not being able to get pregnant the natural way but it is possible a friend of mine got pregnant years ago & then a couple of years ago she needed to do IVF so don't rule out the old fashion way.
I don't doubt how long it has been for you. I couldn't tell you how long it has been for me either. After all the testing & what not prior to doing the IVF & then with the IVF it just takes something away from you & the want isn't there. My daughter will be 2 soon & I could probably count on my hands how many times.
