Starting Birth Control Pills
Posted: 10-23-07 17:48pm

I want to start birth control pills as soon as possible. Today is Tuesday, my period started this pass Sunday. I think my period will end either today or tomorrow. When should I start taking the pill? Do I start the pill this coming Sunday?

I am no doctor, but I was taught to start the pill within 3 to 5 days after the start of your period. Good luck!

Start today! You should be protected immediately, I think. (Correct me if I'm wrong girls, but 3 days within the start of the period you should be protected)

If your package is labeled with sunday as the start, just relabel it.
