starting birth control Posted: 01-01-08 17:40pm


i just started on birth control again but, stupid me, forgot that i'm supposed to wait till the sunday after or the first day of my period. I just started them about three days ago but the last time i got my period was probably like 2-3 weeks ago. If i take them regularly, like i'm supposed to, and have been, will i still be protected? do the pills still work the same? help?

Yes, just keep taking them regularly and you'll be protected 7 days after you started.

Your period will come during your placebo pills of this package. The pill takes over cycle now You may have bleeding and spotting in between periods though, which is normal for the first 1-3 months on BC pills.
