The difference or reasoning

First, I have a question about getting my pills refilled. I have two active pills left, I wanted to get my refill today so I went to the pharmacy and they told me I couldn't get it today but could tomorrow. They thought I had 8 left, when really I only have two. They knew that my dr. switched the brand of pill that I'm on now. If I was taking the nonactive (white) pills, I would have 8 left, but my dr. said it was okay for me to take the active (red) pills continously, so I haven't been taken the white pills at all. I don't understand why they wouldn't give me my refill today.

My other question is, why do some females take the nonactive pills for a week, and some females like me who don't take the nonactive pills at all. Are there different pros and cons for taking the nonactive pills or not taking them?
