I take the Mavelon pill every day, 21 pills. The first pill I took when I was menstruating on the 3rd day because because it was the first time I used it, I didn't know what to take on the first day of my period. After taking the 21st pill, I got my period on the 25th day. It's been 7 days now, but I still have my period. So can I take it to the 2nd pack or wait until my period is over to take it?

Hello. In your case, Mavelon is a 21-tablet pack of oral contraceptives, start taking the next pack on the 8th day after taking a 7-day break. Whether you take this pill in this second pack will not depend on whether you have your period or the date of your period. You can refer to the article: "Instructions to use the daily contraceptive pill correctly", hope the article will provide more useful information for you.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
