Most birth control methods recommend that
you use protection for at least 7 days
when starting the pill for the first time.
However, some say that if you start when
your period starts you are protected right
away. Since you started on the third day
of your period instead of your first
though, it may not be effective right
away. You may want to get plan b just in
case. If even one doctor tells you to get
the pill, I would take their advice.
Better safe than sorry.
It's wonderful you are doing all you can
to stay safe and protected
