start BC pills while spotting ? Posted: 02-08-08 22:40pm


I started spotting today after finishing Provera on Thursday. I want to start on the BC pills the day I start my period instead of the Sunday after my period. I'm not sure if I should start today since I'm spoting or just wait. I'm just not sure if it's af coming or just spotting. And I'm not sure what to do.

You can start your birth control pills now if you'd like. You should use a back up method of protection (like a condom) for the first seven days.

Thanks! I was spotting yesterday so It's okay to start them today? I'm still spotting nothings heavy. I won't need any back up method. I won't be having sex the way I'm feeling! plus I WANT! to have kids but I'm on BC for my pcos to get better.

Yeah, it is technically fine to start them at any point. Doctors reccommend to wait until a Sunday start because its easy to remember, or when your period starts because then you know you aren't pregnant beforehand and you are more protected faster. Good luck in TTC, then! If you are TTC with pcos though, birth control isn't the best way to TTC (unless if you are trying to be on birth control for awhile, and then get off of it to see if things regulate and ttc then). There are other ways to treat pcos. Some people use diabetes medicine to treat it because it controls the way insulin controls blood sugar and lowers testosterone problems to help control ovulation. Fertility medications help as well. You should talk to your doctor about these other options if you want to TTC now

Well, i decided to not TTC now. I'll just take the bc for 6 months and after I get off I hope it reguates me and then I'll start up again. I just want to get better now. Once I get off I'll ask my doctor to see if she can prescribe me anything that's best for me to TTC again!
