If one is on the birth control pill, which tricks your body into thinking you are are pregnant.... then how do people experience PMS while they are still taking their active pills? I have PMS symptoms a few days before I stop taking the active pills and have my period.

It is possible because the last few pills have very few hormones in them and your regular hormones start to kick in. This causes your PMS. It's normal.

I still experience PMS while on the pill. It is probably because many pregnancy symptoms mirror PMS ones (bloating, crankiness, etc)
