Can You Start the Pill Anytime of the Month Posted: 09-03-07 18:06pm
Hello everyone. I am going to start
taking BC but dont know when to start it.
I am starting the 777 pack, but my doctor
said I need to wait until the first sunday
of my next period. This is crazy cause I
need to be on BC as soon as possible.
What have you guys heard? I should trust
my doctor but I have heard different
things. Also why should it matter? Also
have you guys had any bad side affects on
777?

Well, I'd suggest just going with what the
doctor said. They told me to do the same
thing. Wait until the period following the
start of your period. And don't have
unprotected sex still until at least a
month after you start taking it.

You can start right now, it's okay.
The reason they have you start on the
first day of your period is so that the
pills are immediately effective. Since you
want to start mid-cycle, you will need to
wait one full week before you are
protected from pregnancy.

They usually just say Sunday because it's
easy to remember and lowers your chance of
having your period on the weekend.

Why would you think you are screwing up
your body?
No, there is no danger. If you took it on
the first day of your period that is just
fine. It might take a few months for your
period to become regular again, but it
won't hurt you at all, it's just
inconvenient. But that would happen
regardless of when you started.
