If it's time to start a new pack, yes, you'd start today.

What are the yellow pills? Are they active or inactive ingredients? Remember that all birth control is color coded differently.

I'm assuming that they're active since you're just starting your first pack. f they're active pills, yes, your period will probably go away pretty quickly. If they're inactive, nothing will happen, because there are no ingredients in the pills.
