the problem is : my period started on 11 december so i started taking the pills regulary from 12 dec ( but i missed a pill on the 26th ) until 29 dec and then my period started again the next day ( the flow is really weak) and then i took another pill on the 31th. I still have 3 pills form the holder. Is this normal. Should i start a new pack or finish the last 3 pills first? I'm not sure what to do

Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
It is normal to start bleeding after missing a few pills. You can either stop taking the pills now and have your full period; or finish the pack and then your full period will start. Either option is fine.
Keep in mind for the future if you miss any pills be sure not to double up or skip them. Simply start where you left off taking one at a time.
