BIRTH CONTROL (CONTRACEPTION) COMMUNITY
When should I start taking the pill?

When should I start taking the pill?

I just went to the Dr's today to get the birth control pill and picked up the first pack. I was told to start taking the pills the first Sunday of my next period but I just ended mine yesterday. I really don't want to wait a whole month for my next period to start taking the pill so I was wondering if it would be alright to start now or is that a definite no-no?

ok if your period ended yesterday....i take it wherever you life it was like monday or tuesday? here (usa) it was friday. but yeah if its like a mondy, tuesday or wednesday....then your supposed to wait until the sunday after your next period.i mean i guess you could start now because if its been one or two days you could always take the missed pill. your instructions should tell you something like if you mis one take it the next day as soon as your remember it or whatever.

basially i think it would be ok as long as its been like a day or two
